Taliban Seek To Attend U.N General Assembly

South Korean President, Moon Jae-in has renewed a call for a declaration to formally end the 1950-1953 Korean War during his address on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Gatekeepers News reports that North Korea had long sought a formal end to the Korean War to replace the armistice that stopped the fighting but left it and the U.S.-led U.N. Command still technically at war. "I once again urge the community of nations to mobilize its strengths for the end-of-war declaration on the Korean Peninsula. "I propose that three parties of the two Koreas and the U.S., or four parties of the two Koreas, the U.S. and China come together and declare that the War on the Korean Peninsula is over," Moon told the world leaders. Moon maintained that such a declaration would motivate North Korea to give up to denuclearize. Washington has said Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, must surrender its nuclear weapons first. Earlier on Tuesday, United States President Joe Biden addressed the U.N. assembly and said the U.S sought "serious and sustained diplomacy to pursue the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." "We seek concrete progress toward an available plan with tangible commitments that would increase stability on the Peninsula and in the region, as well as improve the lives of the people in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea," he said, using North Korea's official name. North Korea has rejected U.S. proposals for a return to dialogue as the head of the U.N. atomic watchdog said this week that Pyongyang's nuclear program is going "full steam ahead."
