Leaders of two Koreas sign armistice Press

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il and South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun will end their summit on Thursday with a pledge to seek talks with China and the US aimed at formally ending the 1950-1953 Korean War, which cemented the division of the peninsula. Both leaders also vowed to cooperate to ensure that agreements on shutting down the North's nuclear program are implemented smoothly.
The armistice that concluded their fratricidal battle was not signed by South Korea, rather by US-led forces. US President George W. Bush had said he can discuss a peace treaty once the North scraps its nuclear weapons program.
