SEOUL: The liberal Democratic Party of Korea’s presidential candidate Representative Lee Jae-myung pledged to start a dialogue and map out cooperation between the two Koreas and achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula, reiterating his bid to deescalate border tensions if elected president.
During a four-way televised debate aired on May 27, Lee said peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula are “very important”, adding that dialogue, cooperation and peace are necessary on the Korean Peninsula, on the foundation of galvanised military strength, as well as the alliance between Seoul and Washington.
