South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a Sept. 22 speech called on world leaders to put a formal end to the 70-year-old Korean War.

Speaking to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday via video link, Moon argued that bringing a formal end to the 1950-53 conflict would pave the way for the total denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
