"The most certain form of security is to build the state of no need to fight, in other words, making peace," President Lee said in a post on Facebook. He also renewed his commitment to establishing a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula in a bid to stabilize the economy and ensure public safety.

Previously, President Lee pledged to swiftly restore suspended dialogue channels with North Korea,  in a message commemorating the 25th anniversary of the June 15th North–South Joint Declaration.
