Two days ahead of a summit with US President Joe Biden, South Korean President Moon Jae-in seeks to use the opportunity of his visit to Washington to revive long-stalled talks with North Korea.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in plans to use his final year in office to reach an “irreversible peace” on the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in urges US President Joe Biden to initiate a new round of diplomacy with North Korea, following unsuccessful talks between Pyongyang and the former US administration that Seoul also brokered.

North Korea dismisses the possibility of holding fresh talks with the United States on the demilitarization of the Korean Peninsula as long as Washington pursues a "hostile policy" toward Pyongyang.

South Korean President Moon and US President Biden agree to draw up a joint "comprehensive" strategy on North Korea and closely cooperate to bring about the denuclearization of the country.

South Korea planned to "secretly" build a nuclear power plant across the border in North Korea, a report says, drawing an angry rebuttal from Seoul. 

South Korea’s Coast Guard says the South Korean official who was killed by North Korean troops last week was attempting to defect to North Korea.
