The Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Reunification of the Korean Peninsula was adopted between the Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, and the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, on 27 April 2018, during the 2018 inter-Korean Summit on the South Korean side of the Peace House in the Joint Security Area.
According to the declaration, the governments of South Korea (ROK) and North Korea (DPRK) agreed to cooperate on officially ending the Korean War and the Korean conflict, beginning a new era of peace and sharing commitments in ending divisions and confrontation by approaching a new era of national reconciliation, peace, reunification and prosperity and improvements to inter-Korean communication and relations.[1]
This declaration states that both sides would "make active efforts to seek the support and cooperation of the international community for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula".[2][3] The declaration was submitted to the United Nations General Assembly on 6 September 2018.[2]
After the election in 2022 that brought the conservative president Yoon Suk Yeol to power, the 2018 agreement with the ROK was suspended by the DPRK on November 23, 2023, citing escalating military provocations and plans to deploy military forces along the military demarcation line.[4] South Korea in turn suspended the declaration on June 4, 2024.
