The presidential office says discussions will take place in regard to signing a peace treaty with North Korea at the upcoming inter-Korean and North Korea-U.S. summits. 

Although the Korean War came to end in 1953 with an armistice agreement, the two Koreas technically remain at war. Replacing the armistice with a peace treaty has been considered one way to settle peace on the Korean Peninsula.  

A senior presidential official said on Wednesday that the top office is reviewing ways to "turn the armistice system into a peace system." 

The comment comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said during a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday that South and North Korea will be meeting to end their decades-long war and both countries have his blessing.
