President Lee Jae Myung: ”Over the past three years, the clock on the Korean Peninsula has gone backwards” - South Korea

On the 12th, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said that the June 15th summit joint declaration was a historical lesson that must never be forgotten, and that it was a step that caused a lot of friction with North Korea.
The senior secretary for political affairs, Woo Sang-ho, made a roundabout criticism of the former administration of President Yoon Seok-yeol, who had been a key figure in the administration's decision to appoint Kim Dae-jung of Yonsei University in Seoul on the same day.
At the library, President Lee read out his commemorative speech for the 25th anniversary of the June 15 summit, saying, "Unfortunately, over the past three years, the clock on the Korean Peninsula has been rapidly turned back to the cold past before June 15.
"Relations between the North and the South have been severed, and tensions in the border areas have risen to a level reminiscent of the Cold War era," he said.
He continued, "If peace is shaken, the economy, security, and everyday life will also be shaken.
"This is a historical lesson. Therefore, 'peace is the economy,'" he said, stressing, "From now on, we must build a Korean Peninsula where North and South Korea can coexist and prosper together, based on solid peace."
He also said, "We will cease attritional hostile acts and resume dialogue and cooperation," and "transform hostility and confrontation into reconciliation and cooperation, and work to ease military tensions and create an atmosphere of peace on the Korean Peninsula."
We will put our efforts into this."
