Koreas agree to end war, boost economies By Paul Wiseman, USA TODAY SEOUL — South Korea's president signed a commitment with North Korea Thursday to seek a formal end to war between their nations, ending a historic three-day summit and coming a day after a nuclear agreement reached 600 miles away in Beijing that President Bush hailed as a key to "peace and prosperity" in Asia. South Korea never signed the cease fire that ended hostilities in the 1950-53 Korean War; so the two Koreas have remained technically at war ever since. In their declaration Thursday in the northern capital Pyongyang, South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il agreed to pursue a permanent peace. South Korea has said it will need to work with the other combatants in the Korean war — China and the United States — to reach a formal peace deal. President Bush has said there can be no permanent peace on the Korean peninsula until North Korea gives up nuclear arms.
