"Persistent Efforts: The Ongoing Struggle to Officially End the Korean War after 70 Years"

Activists and advocates are gathering in Washington, D.C., to call for a formal end to the Korean War on its 70th anniversary. The Korean War, often referred to as "The Forgotten War," remains unresolved and is the longest-standing conflict involving the U.S. A House bill, H.R. 1369, has gained support for serious diplomatic efforts towards a permanent peace agreement in Korea. The event aims to increase public awareness of the war's lasting effects and the need for closure. The nuclear-armed North Korea's weapons-testing and the travel ban to North Korea imposed by former President Donald Trump are additional issues at stake. Young Korean Americans are playing a crucial role in demanding an end to the war and advocating for reunification.
