Moon Jae-in vowed to make another push for peace in his final months as South Korea's president, despite fresh signs that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has little interest in reciprocating.
Moon used his last new year address as South Korea’s leader to press for a cause that has defined his political career. The former democracy campaigner and son of wartime refugees from North Korea is slated to leave office in May having made little progress in the peace process since signing a pair of landmark agreements with Kim in 2018.
"I will continue to make efforts to institutionalize sustainable peace, and I won’t stop that until the end of my term,” Moon said.
