The proposal followed the “North Korean Peninsula Peace Initiative”, known as the “Berlin Initiative”, which was announced by South Korean President Moon Jae-in on July 6 in Berlin.
On Monday, Cho Myung-kyun, the South Korean minister in charge of unification, urged North Korea to respond to Seoul’s proposal. Minister Cho asked North Korea to resume military contact in the West Sea via the Panmunjom communication channel.
