ISTANBUL The Korean Peninsula in ‘most dangerous state’: Ex-President Moon
The Korean Peninsula is facing its most dangerous situation since the 1950s Korean War, according to former South Korean President Moon Jae-in. He warned of an intensifying Cold War structure between North and South Korea, criticizing the current administration for escalating tensions.
Moon’s comments come amidst strained relations between the two Koreas, exacerbated by the inauguration of President Yoon Suk Yeol. He expressed concerns over the abandonment of dialogue and emphasized the need for balanced diplomacy to prevent a military clash.
The divided Koreas have witnessed deteriorating relations, with past agreements being nullified. Yoon has emphasized the need to strengthen deterrence with the US against North Korea’s nuclear threat, while Moon called for a return to dialogue and peace.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains precarious, with the potential for a military confrontation. Moon urged South Korea to adopt a mediator role and stressed the importance of dialogue over nuclear escalation.
