when did north korea and south korea signed a peace treaty
Korean Armistice Agreement The signed Armistice established a "complete cessation of all hostilities in Korea by all armed force"[2] that was to be enforced by the commanders of both sides. The armistice is however only a cease-fire between military forces, rather than an agreement between governments.[31] No peace treaty was signed which means that the Korean War has not officially ended. The armistice established the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and the DMZ. The DMZ was agreed as a 2.5-mile -wide (4.0Â km) fortified buffer zone between the two Korean nations.[32] The DMZ follows the Kansas Line where the two sides actually confronted each other at the time of the signing of the Armistice. The DMZ is currently the most heavily defended national border in the world as of 2018[update].
