South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said Wednesday that North Korea must scrap its atomic weapons programs before the divided Korean Peninsula can be unified with the signing of a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War.
Lee told world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly that North Korea, which conducted its second nuclear test in May, should return to stalled international nuclear disarmament talks "right away and without any preconditions."
Lee, whose tough policies on the North have stoked fury in Pyongyang, spoke as his country, the United States, China, Japan and Russia worked to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear weapons program. North Korea walked away from the talks in April to protest world criticism of a rocket launch.
Lee urged the North to come back to nuclear talks "to achieve a genuine peace on the Korean Peninsula and for its own sake as well."
In a description of Korean history likely to anger the North, Lee said in his speech that the South, with U.N. approval, "became the only legitimate government on the Korean peninsula."
