inter-Korean relations

Inter-Korean relations refer to the complex and evolving relationship between North Korea and South Korea. Historically marked by conflict and tension, especially during the Korean War (1950-1953), efforts have been made over the years to promote diplomacy, peace, and cooperation. These include summit meetings, family reunions, economic projects, and negotiations on denuclearization. However, progress is often fragile, influenced by political changes, security concerns, and international factors. The relationship remains a key issue in regional stability, with both sides balancing engagement and deterrence, aiming for peaceful coexistence and eventual reconciliation.
