In July 1953, the two countries signed an agreement to resolve armed conflicts between them, which was termed as an armistice. However, there were no official agreement which was signed. As a consequence of this, the war continued between them.

In June 2018,  the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un and the US president,  Donald Trump held talks at a conference in Singapore. The leaders of the two countries discussed the issue of de-nuclearisation and the US president had appealed to the North Korean leader for denuclearisation.
• On September 19, 2018, North and South Korean leaders held a meeting in Pyongyang and signed a joint military agreement to install peace and start the denuclearization process. As per reports, both the leaders have agreed to end the age-old conflict between the two countries. Reportedly, the two sides have decided to stop any war or operation of artillery exercises to take place from November 1.
