South Korea seeking peace deal with North, ROK official says
No confirmation whether agreement will be included in next week's joint declaration, however
South Korea hopes to establish a "peace regime" on the peninsula and to replace the 1953 Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty, a senior ROK official said on Wednesday.
“We are reviewing ways to change the armistice agreement on the Korean peninsula to a peace regime,” the official - who the Blue House has asked remain anonymous - told media at a closed-door briefing.
