South Korean presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung advocated on Thursday for the resumption of diplomatic summits between North Korea and the United States. His remarks were delivered via a Facebook post, underscoring the importance of dialogue in mitigating tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Lee's statement aligns with the interests expressed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has indicated his intention to re-engage with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. During Trump's presidency, a working relationship was established between the two leaders.

The call to restart talks comes amidst a backdrop of complex international relations, where effective diplomacy is seen as crucial to maintaining stability and addressing security concerns in the region.
