Former liberal President Moon Jae-in called for a "complete review" of South Korea's discourse on inter-Korean peace and unification Thursday, as North Korea newly defined inter-Korean relations as those between two states hostile to each other. Moon made the point in his speech at a ceremony held in the southwestern city of Gwangju to mark the sixth anniversary of the Pyongyang Declaration announced by Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after summit talks in the North. "Now that North Korea has defined inter-Korean ties as ones between two nations hostile to each other, it is needed to completely review the existing discourse about peace and unification," Moon said. "It is what the South Korean government needs to do first, but the incumbent government appears to have neither the willingness nor capability to do so," he said. Source: Yonhap News Agency
