South Korea Opposes Allied Truce Plan Unveiled to UN Command
South Korea formally rejected the latest Allied truce proposal in a note delivered to General Harrison at Munsan, insisting on unification with North Korea and opposing a five nation prisoners of war commission. The note, described as important but not an ultimatum, followed opposition from the National Assembly and threats to resign by Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tai over secrecy and sovereignty concerns. Negotiations at Panmunjom were paused as both sides awaited responses to the plan and continued nature of the prisoner repatriation framework remained unclear.
