North and South Korea—along with the U. S. and China—have agreed “in principle” to officially declare an end to the Korean war after nearly seventy years since the end of hostilities, South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced on Monday, signaling a possible cooling of tensions after several months of an escalating arms race in the Korean peninsula. Moon also told the press in Canberra that his government was “not considering” a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics. The global sporting event, which is scheduled to start in February, is facing a growing diplomatic boycott by several western nations who have accused China of engaging in large scale human rights violations. The U. S., U. K, Canada and Australia have all announced that they will not be sending any diplomatic or official representation to the event. According to ABC News, however, Moon is hoping to use the Beijing games as a means of opening up possible summit-level talks with Pyongyang. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and other top Korean leaders may also attend the winter games, the report adds. In September, North Korean officials resoundingly rejected Moon’s calls for an official declaration to the end of the war by calling it a smokescreen to cover up hostile U. S. policy against Pyongyang. At the time, North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Ri Thae Song said such a declaration will not help stabilize tensions, pointing to U. S. troop and weapon deployments in the region. The 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice between both sides instead of a peace treaty. This has meant that the two nations have officially been in a state of war for more than 70 years now. Korean War end-of-war declaration agreed in principle: Moon (ABC News)Moon says U. S., China, N.
