South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urges talks with North Korea aimed at replacing the Korean War armistice with a long-term peace arrangement. He calls for building conditions for cooperation and peaceful coexistence, framing dialogue as a path toward a “peace regime,” rather than continuing under the current armistice structure.

The reports align on Lee’s core message: inter-Korean dialogue is needed to move beyond the armistice and toward a more stable peace framework. However, with limited additional sourcing provided here, details such as the proposed timetable, specific negotiating agenda, or North Korea’s stated response are not included in the available summaries. Across the outlet coverage, the focus remains on Lee’s diplomatic push and the goal of transitioning from an armistice-based system to a peace mechanism.
