South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Monday instructed his cabinet to prepare a phased, partial implementation of existing agreements with North Korea, according to the presidential office and multiple domestic news agencies. Lee told ministers to act “wherever possible,” with particular attention to reviving the 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement that sought to reduce military activity along the border. The step-by-step approach signals a move away from the hardline stance taken in recent years and is aimed at easing tensions with Pyongyang.
