South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said Tuesday that a peace treaty ending the 1950-53 Korean War will be the top agenda of the upcoming inter-Korean summit.
"The declaration of the end of the Korean War and peace treaty are the core agenda items of the inter-Korean summit talks," Roh told a press at the Presidential Office.
Under an agreement between South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Roh is set to visit Pyongyang on Oct. 2-4 and hold summit meeting with DPRK top leader Kim Jong- il there.
However, Roh said he won't raise the issue of denuclearization in the DPRK seriously at the upcoming inter-Korean summit, noting that the nuclear program has already been in the process of rapid settlement at the six-party talks, which also involve China, the U. S., Russia and Japan.
"Many people emphasize the importance of the North (DPRK) denuclearization. Objectively speaking, the nuclear problem is in the midst of being resolved at the six-party talks. More important is the next stage, or the establishment of peace," he said.
