Leaders of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and South Korea have signed a joint¹ declaration confirming their common goal of complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as well as pushing for a peace treaty.

 

朝韩领导人签署一份联合声明，实现朝鲜半岛无核化以及推进和平条约的签订。
 

 

The announcement comes after a historic meeting between Kim Jong Un, top leader of the DPRK and Moon Jae-in, President of South Korea in the truce² village of Panmunjom on the border between the two countries.

 

The Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification of the Korean Peninsula consists of three main themes: the establishment of a peace regime, efforts to ease military tensions, and co-prosperity and unification of the two Koreas.

 

Moon Jae-in says at a joint press conference with Kim Jong Un that the declaration aims to realize a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.

 

"Today, Chairman Kim Jong Un and I confirmed that our shared goal is to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons through complete denuclearization. The preceded measures made by North Korea have very important meanings. It will be a valuable beginning toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. From this moment, I want to clearly declare that the two countries will closely cooperate with each other to completely denuclearize the Korean Peninsula," says Moon.
