South Korea Calls on North to Engage in Military Talks
Kim Byung-kee, the floor leader of the ruling Democratic Party (DP), emphasized that North Korea should promptly respond to the request, according to a news agency.
"As South Korea's first official proposal for talks with the North since President Lee Jae Myung took office, it will mark an important opportunity to resume inter-Korean dialogue," Kim stated during a policy coordination session at the National Assembly.
The remarks followed Seoul’s proposal on Monday to hold military talks with Pyongyang. The aim is to clarify the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and prevent potential clashes along the inter-Korean border.
Addressing North Korea’s criticisms of the recent US-South Korea summit, Kim noted that if Pyongyang has "something to say, it can fully do so when inter-Korean talks are held."
Should North Korea agree to the proposal, it would represent the first inter-Korean military dialogue since the general-level military talks held in 2018.
