South Korea’s Lee Calls for ‘New Era’ With Northern Neighbor

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said his country was committed to de-escalating tensions with North Korea as part of an effort to “usher in a new era of peaceful co-existence and renewed growth.”

In an address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, Lee pledged to “restore broken inter-Korean trust and shift to a stance of mutual trust.”
