SOUTH KOREA: South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said on Saturday that Seoul will continue taking preemptive measures to ease military tension and build trust with North Korea to promote peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Lee made the remarks in a closing ceremony of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit held in the southeastern city of Gyeongju.
"Military confrontation, tension, and nuclear issues have constrained stability and cooperation not only on the Korean Peninsula but across the entire Asia-Pacific region, " Lee said.
