South Korean President Moon Jae-in pledged Monday to pursue an “irreversible path to peace” with North Korea until the end of his five-year term in May, despite the North Korean leader’s unresponsiveness to the country’s proposal for an end-of-war declaration.

“The government will pursue normalization of inter-Korean relations and an irreversible path to peace until the end. I hope efforts for dialogue will continue in the next administration too,” Moon said in his final New Year’s address, Yonhap News Agency reported.
