Motion text
That this House notes the work by Congressman Brad Sherman to encourage new efforts towards formally ending the state of war on the Korean Peninsula through his Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act that was recently introduced in the US House of Representatives; recognises that that symbolic move could play a vital role in the next stage of reducing tensions on that peninsula; further notes that the Korean War hostilities were ended by an armistice in 1953, and that no formal peace treaty has been negotiated since that armistice; reiterates support for the 2018 Panmunjom Declaration in which the governments of North Korea and South Korea declared their intention to work towards negotiating a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War; acknowledges the role the UK Government has played in multilateral efforts to facilitate peace and denuclearisation on that peninsula; and calls on the UK Government to actively engage with all relevant parties and the wider international community to accelerate those efforts.
