SEOUL, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae-myung on Friday vowed to take consistent measures to ease tensions and restore trust with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
“Our government will take consistent measures to significantly reduce tensions and restore trust /with the DPRK/,” the president announced in his speech on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese colonial rule /1910-1945/.
Lee Jae-myung, who took office in early June, said protracted hostility would not benefit either the people of South Korea or the DPRK, stressing that now is the time to move beyond the outdated Cold War confrontation and usher in a new era of peace on the peninsula.
The South Korean leader said Seoul and Pyongyang must immediately restore trust and resume dialogue through action.
Seoul will respect existing inter-Korean agreements, he said. The president also promised to take active, gradual steps to restore the Sept. 19, 2018, military agreement signed at the inter-Korean summit to prevent accidental clashes and strengthen military trust between the two countries.
Lee Jae-myung reaffirmed his willingness to respect the existing system in the DPRK and stated that he does not intend to commit any hostile actions against Pyongyang. –0–
