N. Korea asks South to restart military talks

Gerald · 09-16-10, 01:42 PM

(CNN) -- North Korea on Thursday proposed working-level military talks with South Korea, the Yonhap news agency reported.

The North's request could signal further easing of cross-border tensions, but South Korea reacted skeptically to the complex proposed agenda, Yonhap said, citing defense officials from the South.

Pyongyang asked to discuss the two countries' de facto sea border on the west coast. North Korea wants the border, known as the Northern Limit Line, redrawn farther south. Deadly naval clashes between North and South took place along the Northern Limit Line in 1999, 2002 and 2009.

Pretty much.

Business as usual then. At least the DPRK runs according to time, a perfectly scheduled timetable of confront, posture, retract and seek talks.
Rinse and repeat.

I thought "military talks" meant weaponised negotiations. Let's see that!

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North and South Korea agreed Friday to hold reunions of families separated by their war, but conflicting statements from the rivals about the details underscored the difficulty of repairing relations on the peninsula.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency reported that the reunions — popular on both sides of the border — would be held at the North's scenic Diamond Mountain resort between Oct. 21 to 27.
