According to Xinhua News Agency citing Yonhap News Agency, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said in a speech at the general debate of the 80th UN General Assembly on the 23rd local time that South Korea will first cut off the "vicious circle of unnecessary military tension and hostile behavior" with North Korea and end the era of hostility and confrontation on the Korean Peninsula.

Li said in his speech that it is urgent to promote the restoration of mutual trust and mutual respect between the DPRK and reiterated that the DPRK respects the DPRK regime and does not seek any form of "absorption and unity" and does not intend to engage in any hostile activities.

Li said he will end the era of hostility and confrontation on the Korean Peninsula through a comprehensive dialogue at the core of "exchanges, normalization of relations, denuclearization" and open up a new era of "peaceful coexistence and common growth".

Regarding inter-Korean relations, Lee Jae-myung has made similar statements many times. On the 11th of this month, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said at the 100-day press conference of his inauguration that although the DPRK reacted coldly and the relations between the ROK and the DPRK have not made progress, the government will continue to work hard to promote the resumption of the dialogue between the ROK and the DPRK.

It is a foolish idea to expect the DPRK to quickly change its attitude as a result of several measures to alleviate tensions, Li said, but it is beneficial for the DPRK to alleviate tensions regardless of the North¡¯s attitude.

He also said that the Korean-Korean relationship issue cannot be solved solely by South Korean forces, and North Korea believes that the United States is the biggest factor that threatens its security, so that promoting the DPRK-U.S. dialogue will be conducive to the realization of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and the South Korean side is willing to play a role in promoting and supporting it.
