N. Korea says naval skirmish demonstrates need for peace treaty with U.S.
By Tony Chang

SEOUL, Nov. 23 (Yonhap) -- North Korea urged the United States on Monday to replace their armistice agreement with a peace treaty, citing a recent skirmish between the two Koreas' navies as "proof" that such a treaty is necessary for peace on the peninsula.

The two Koreas technically remain at war, as the 1950-53 Korean War -- in which the U.S.-led United Nations forces fought for the South -- ended without a formal peace treaty.
