Seoul announces steps towards peaceful coexistence with Pyongyang

This was stated by President Lee Jae Myung during the general debate at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Ukrinform correspondent reports.

First of all, he called inclusive and peaceful coexistence based on mutual respect for each other and recognition of differences.

We will work on the introduction of mechanisms for crisis prevention and conflict resolution, "he said.

Lee is convinced that restoring basic communication channels and building trust will be the first step towards stable and peaceful coexistence.

He also pledged to move beyond the mere creation of a Korean Peninsula free of war and nuclear weapons, and to promote stability and cooperation in Northeast Asia, while actively engaging in global efforts to building a world free from wars and conflicts.

What's next

"A year ago, I stated from this rostrum that the Republic of Korea will embark on a new journey towards peaceful coexistence and common development on the Korean Peninsula," the president said, presenting an action plan to achieve peace in the region.

"We will look for ways to develop together through cooperation. We will continue to respect the North on the international stage and seek cooperation wherever possible. We hope there will be opportunities to work together within the international community in areas such as health, disaster response, and addressing the climate crisis, ”Li said.
