The proposal by the President of South Korea for talks is a praiseworthy and promising development in the strained relationship between Seoul and Pyongyang. President Lee Jae Myung offered talks to formally end the conflict, which has been technically ongoing for decades, with North Korea, along with discussing practical ways of halting Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions. This is not a surprising move by the South Korean President — who promised to improve the strained relationship between the two parties earlier — but how much the complicated Seoul-Pyongyang relationship will be improved remains uncertain.

Strikes and counterstrikes have intensified somewhat in the Ukraine war over the days. Peace efforts have been made, there have been exchanges of prisoners of war and the parties have shown interest in talks directly several times. But the war — which started with the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 — has not yet ended. It has rather been continuing for more than four years and has so far killed more than 300000 and injured more, and there is no indication of ending the Ukraine war, leading to concerns.

Displacement is one of the major problems globally. As per the reports of multiple sources, including the BBC and CNN, millions of people are displaced all over the world. In the Middle East alone, there are several million displaced persons due to the Israel-Lebanon war, the Syrian War and the Yemen War. Even if the number of the displaced has decreased globally through mass returns to countries such as Syria and Afghanistan, it is still scant.
