Just a day before South Korea's delegation was due to leave for Pyongyang,... North Korea again called for an official end to the Korean War.
North Korea's foreign ministry said through its official website on Tuesday,... that declaring an end to the Korean War.... is the first step to achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula,... which will also lead to improved ties with the U.S.
According to the statement written by Kim Yong-guk, director of the ministry's Disarmament and Peace Institute,... unlike a peace treaty,... "political determination" is all it takes to declare an end to the war.
The statement also demanded that Washington take corresponding action to the efforts made by Pyongyang.... to implement the Panmunjom Declaration and the Sentosa Agreement.
