North and South Korea have just announced an end to the Koread war and will sign a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War later this year, 65 years after hostilities ceased, the two countries announced in a joint declaration moments ago. 

The document, formally called the “Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula, was revealed after a full day of meetings and a 30-minute private conversation in the past hour between Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in. The two leaders solemnly declare that there will be no more war on the Korean Peninsula and a new era of peace has begun,” the declaration said.

Fighting in the Korean War ended in 1953 in stalemate, after which an armistice agreement was signed. But a peace treaty never followed, and the two sides are still technically at war.
