South Korea's Moon pledges there will be 'no war on Korean peninsula'

(CNN)South Korean President Moon Jae-in has said US and South Korean policies are aligned on North Korea and promised there "will be no war on the Korean peninsula ever again."

South Korean President Moon Jae-in speaks during a press conference marking his first 100 days in office, August 17, 2017.

The South Korean leader also said North Korea's development of nuclear weapons technology was "nearing" a red line, which he described as "completing an ICBM and weaponizing it with a nuclear head."

North Korea claims it has successfully miniaturized a nuclear weapon. While some experts believe it may have the technology, others caution that even if it doesn't, North Korea should be taken at its word. "If North Korea provokes again, it will face with much harsher sanction and won't stand it in the end. I want to warn North Korea to do no more dangerous gambling," added Moon. Moon told local and international media there would be no war on the Korean peninsula.
