(Reuters) - Earlier this month South Korea proposed military talks with the North. The formal initiative from Seoul's new government could lead to the first high-level discussions between the rival states since 2015.
North and South Korea are technically still at war, but as Kim Jong Un in the North speeds up his missile tests, Southern President Moon Jae-in wants to persuade Pyongyang to revive a "sunshine" era of talks from the early 2000s. Sceptical media and analysts have dubbed his efforts "moonshine."
