South Korean
President Moon Jae In assured North Korea that his country wasn’t looking for
another war.
This, he said
on Thursday during the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War.
Both
countries are still technically in a state of war. Fighting between them from
1950 to
1953 ended with a ceasefire agreement, but a peace treaty hasn’t been
reached until this day.
“Before
speaking of unification, I hope that we can become friendly neighbours first,”
Moon said in his speech during a memorial event at Seoul’s military airport.
“We are
against a war”.
“The two
Koreas’ competition over political and economic systems already ended a long
time ago.”
“Our gross
domestic product is more than 50 times that of North Korea, and our trade is
over 400 times that of the North,” he said. “We do not have any intention to
force our system on the North.
“I hope North
Korea will join the efforts of ending the saddest war in world history.”
