South Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the United Nations Command agreed on Monday to withdraw firearms and guard posts by Thursday from the Joint Security Area (JSA) in the inter-Korean border area, South Korea's defense ministry said.
The agreement was reached after the second consultation on disarming the JSA was held at the Freedom House, a South Korean building in the border village of Panmunjom inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The first one was held last week.
From Oct.1, soldiers from the two Koreas conducted a 20-day operation to remove landmines inside the JSA, which was set up right after the 1950-53 Korean War ended with armistice.
During the second consultation, the two Koreas and the UN Command agreed to pull firearms and guard posts out of the JSA by Oct. 25, and to conduct a joint verification for the next two days.
The three parties jointly confirmed the official completion of the landmine removal in the JSA, according to the ministry.
The disarmament of the JSA was agreed upon by defense chiefs of the two Koreas during the Pyongyang summit in September between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un.
Following the disarmament, South Korea and the DPRK planned to station a patrol of non-armed 35 soldiers each, including five officers, inside the JSA.
