South Korean President Moon Jae-in has told the BBC that it is only a matter of time before the US and North Korea declare an end to their state of war on the Korean peninsula. The war ended in 1953 with an armistice but a peace treaty was never signed. Mr Moon, the son of North Korean refugees, also said there could be more diplomatic \"bumps and bruises\" as he tries to persuade Kim Jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons. But he described Mr Kim as \"candid\". In an interview with the BBC's Laura Bicker in Seoul he also said he hoped European leaders would help him to mediate between Mr Kim and US President Donald Trump if negotiations stalled. Mr Moon has met Mr Kim three times this year and has acted as a mediator between him and Mr Trump. He said that he had had \"ample discussions\" with President Trump and other US officials about an end of war declaration. Week ___ Title: South Korea's Moon optimistic about end to Korean War Author: Sky news Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-45832777 Summary The South Korean president Moon Jae-in tried to persuade Kim Jong-un to stop things relate to nuclear weapon. South Korea want to have armistice with North Korea. Mr Moon also tried to be mediator between US and North Korea, and Mr Moon wanted to reach an end of war declaration. My reaction/reflection: This article contains a lot of difficult words, and it is very good for me to improve my vocabulary skill. In my opinion every country in the world should reach to way of peace among them. Using violence is not the right way to negotiate with other countries. Page 3 of 6
