Description
They're discussing ways to ease military tensions,… as agreed in April by the South and North Korean leaders.
Today's talks are taking place at the border village of Panmunjom.
We'll now go live to our Park Ji-won who's at Seoul's Office for Inter-Korean Dialogue.
She's been keeping an eye on this for us.
Ji-won?
Good morning, Devin.
The talks have just started at 10 a.m. Korea time at the Peace House,... on the South Korean side of the truce village of Panmunjom.
The two delegations have five-members each,... and they will be led by the same officials as last month's talks -- Major General Kim Do-gyun from the South and Lieutenant General Ahn Ik-san from the North.
South Korea's Vice Minister of Unification Chun Hae-Sung , along with other senior government officials,... talked to the five-member South Korean delegation here,... at the Office for the Inter-Korean Dialogue in Seoul,... before the delegation left for Panmunjom in the morning.
And now let's hear what the head of the South Korean delegation, Major General Kim Do-gyun, told the media,... before heading to Panmunjom this morning.
"We are slated to continue discussing military agreements from the Panmunjom Declaration on April 27th,.. as well as topics that we had discussed at the previous talks. We will do our best so that the talks can create momentum for drawing up realistic measures for easing inter-Korean military tensions and building trust."
It's expected that the talks will continue until the late afternoon.
According to a military source,... The two sides are also likely to discuss disarming South and North Korean soldiers at the Joint Security Area in the DMZ,... and withdrawing troops and equipment located at some guard posts as a pilot program.
The creation of a peace zone around the Northern Limit Line,... the de-facto maritime border in the West Sea,... is also expected to be one of the key topics at the talks.
I will bring you more updates later in the newscast.
Back to you, Devin.
