President Moon Jae-in has once again suggested that the two Koreas, the United States and China come together to declare a formal end to the Korean War.
He made the proposal Tuesday while addressing the United Nations General Assembly.
An armistice in 1953 ended the fighting, but no peace treaty has ever been signed.
The president said he believes the declaration will "make irreversible progress in denuclearization and usher in an era of complete peace."
He made a similar suggestion during his speech at the U.N. in 2018 and last year.
Moon also expressed hope for a "speedy resumption of dialogue" between Seoul and Pyongyang as well as the North and the U.S. but made no mention of the regime's recent launches of ballistic and cruise missiles.
In addition, he announced South Korea's bid to become a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council for the 2024-2025 term.
The country held the seat twice from 1996-1997 and 2013-2014.
