A Never Ending War

Although the fighting stopped over fifty years ago, the Korean war never officially ended. The fighting stopped with a cease-fire instead of a peace treaty; therefore, the war is technically ongoing.

The president of South Korea is eagerly encouraging the leader of North Korea to sign a treaty to officially end the war. Ending the war would be seen as another leap forward in stabilizing relations with the North and encouraging their nuclear disarmament.

Perhaps the South is utilizing the end of the war to meet its current agenda. Perhaps this strategy will only increase tensions between the Koreas.
