In his speech dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean Peninsula, the President of the Republic of Korea Lee Ch "Mun said that his government is ready to respect the state system of the DPRK. His words quotes Yonhap news agency.
"We reaffirm that we respect the current system of North Korea and we will not seek union through merger. We declare that we do not have hostile intentions, "said Lee Je-Mion.
According to him, the south and the north "are not enemies of each other." They are associated with "special relations", in which they should strive for peace and respect for each other's socio-political systems.
Lee Je-Mungh also expressed the gradual recovery of the agreement on the weakening of Seoul and People's military tensions between Seoul and Phenyan, as it can reduce the risks of unforeseen clashes.
