Leaders of two Koreas sign armistice

Korean leader Kim Jong-Il and South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun‏

will end their summit on Thursday with a pledge to seek talks with China and the US aimed at formally ending the 1950-1953 Korean War, which cemented the division of the peninsula.‏

Both leaders also vowed to cooperate to ensure that agreements on shutting down the North`s nuclear program are implemented smoothly.‏

The armistice that concluded their fratricidal battle was not signed by South Korea, rather by US-led forces.‏

U.S. President George W. Bush had said he can discuss a peace treaty once the North scraps its nuclear weapons program.‏
