NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday reaffirmed his envisioned role as a "pacemaker" in establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula, pledging efforts to help swiftly resume dialogue between the United States and North Korea.

The South Korean president made the pledge in his address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to revive his diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, while inter-Korean relations remain at a standstill.

"I hope the long-suspended dialogue between North Korea and the U.S. can resume without delay," Lee said.

"We will lay the groundwork for this (U.S.-North Korea dialogue) to develop into a dialogue between the related parties to end the war on the Korean Peninsula and transition into a peace regime."

The two Koreas remain technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

"Fortunately, President Trump's resolve has recently created a hard-won opportunity for change," Lee said, referring to Trump's repeated expressions of interest in dialogue with the North Korean leader.

纽约，9月22日（韩联社）——韩国总统李在明周二重申了他设想的在朝鲜半岛建立和平中扮演“推动者”的角色，并承诺将努力帮助美国和朝鲜迅速恢复对话。

韩国总统在纽约举行的第81届联合国大会上发表讲话时作出了这一承诺。与此同时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普正寻求恢复与朝鲜领导人金正恩的外交关系，而朝韩关系仍然处于停滞状态。

李说：“我希望朝鲜和美国之间长期中断的对话能够尽快恢复。”

“我们将为此（美朝对话）奠定基础，使其发展成为有关各方之间的对话，以结束朝鲜半岛战争并过渡到和平机制。”

由于 1950-53 年的朝鲜战争以停战协定而非和平条约结束，因此朝鲜半岛南北双方在技术上仍处于战争状态。

李说：“幸运的是，特朗普总统的决心最近为变革创造了一个来之不易的机会。”他指的是特朗普多次表示有兴趣与朝鲜领导人对话。
