S Korea's Moon: a peace treaty 'must be pursued'

A peace treaty to formally end the Korean War "must be pursued", South Korean President Moon Jae-in said today, ahead of a summit next week with Kim Jong Un, leader of the nuclear-armed North.

"The armistice that has dragged on for 65 years must come to an end," Moon told media company representatives at the Blue House, adding: "The signing of a peace treaty must be pursued after an end to the war is declared.
