Peace in the Korean Peninsula

This month a mine exploded on the line that divides two nations in the Korean peninsula. Two staff sergeants were injured, which resulted various consequences in both nations. South Korea used giant speakers, which were banned 10 years ago, to broadcast news and k-pop songs, which served as a propaganda to lower the morale among the soldiers of the North Korea. On the other hand North Korea entered a quasi state of war. However, on Tuesday, after over 40 hours of talks, the representatives reached to an agreement. South Korea agreed to stop the propaganda broadcast and North Korea decided to end the state of war and expressed their "regret" of the tragic incident that happened earlier this month.

Even though the final agreement between the two Koreas is not as satisfactory to many South Koreans, the two Koreas were able to reach to an agreement through talks. I hope that other nations would not use this incident for their gains to increase their military power, but to support the agreement and the decisions that the two nations reached through this talk. I hope that more of these talks would happen around the world to resolve a problem, because in the end war will bring destruction to both conflicting parities. It is something we must avoid and through these talks, it is possible to reach to a better conclusion that will bring gains to both parties.
