Gold Silver Reports (GSR) – North and South Korea are in talks to announce a permanent end to their officially declared conflict, an unnamed South Korean official told the daily newspaper Munhwa Ilbo, according to Bloomberg and other U.S. news outlets picking up the report overnight. The development comes ahead of a summit next week between North Korean premier Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Already, lawmakers from each side were reported to be negotiating the details of a joint statement that could outline an end to the confrontation.
Kim and Moon could also discuss returning the heavily-fortified demilitarized zone dividing the two to its original state, the newspaper said. Pyongyang and Seoul have technically been at war since the 1950-1953 Korean conflict ended with a truce and not a peace treaty.
