“South and North Korea, China and the US have agreed ‘in principle’ to declare a formal end to the Korean war, almost 70 years after the conflict ended in a shaky truce, the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, has said.
But Moon conceded that talks on the 1950-53 war were being held back by North Korean objections to present-day ‘US hostility’.
Speaking in Canberra on Monday during his four-day visit to Australia, Moon said he believed the four main parties agreed in principle to a peace declaration.
But he added that North Korea had made an end to US hostility a precondition for talks.”
