Panmunjom Declaration

The Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Reunification of the Korean Peninsula was adopted between the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, and the president of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, on 27 April 2018, during the 2018 inter-Korean Summit on the South Korean side of the Peace House in the Joint Security Area.

According to the declaration, the governments of South Korea (ROK) and North Korea (DPRK) agreed to cooperate on officially ending the Korean War and the Korean conflict, beginning a new era of peace and sharing commitments in ending divisions and confrontation by approaching a new era of national reconciliation, peace, reunification and prosperity and improvements to inter-Korean communication and relations.

This declaration states that both sides would "make active efforts to seek the support and cooperation of the international community for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula". The declaration was submitted to the United Nations General Assembly on 6 September 2018.

After the election in 2022 that brought the conservative president Yoon Suk Yeol to power, the 2018 agreement with the ROK was suspended by the DPRK on November 23, 2023, citing escalating military provocations and plans to deploy military forces along the military demarcation line. South Korea in turn suspended the declaration on June 4, 2024.

During this momentous period of historical transformation on the Korean Peninsula, reflecting the enduring aspiration of the Korean people for peace, prosperity, and reunification, President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea and Chairman Kim Jong-un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea held an Inter-Korean Summit Meeting at the 'Peace House' at Panmunjom on April 27, 2018.

The two leaders solemnly declared before the 80 million Korean people and the whole world that there will be no more war in Korea and thus a new era of peace has begun.

1. Promote common prosperity and reunification of Korea through dramatic improvement and development of inter-Korean relations

2. Elimination of military tension and substantial elimination of war risk
