The meeting follows a mine-clearance operation in the area as part of a far-reaching military agreement between the Koreas.

The pact also calls for the two sides to remove weapons and guard posts from the truce village of Panmunjom, and replace them with 35 unarmed guards from each side.

On Thursday, the UNC, which is led by Gen. Vincent Brooks, “reviewed and verified the mine clearance work done to date” at the Joint Security Area in Panmunjom and supports next steps in implementing the inter-Korean agreement.
