The South Korean government proposed today that the working military meeting between the two Koreas held on 11 February in Panmunjom and invited to Pyongyang in a bilateral dialogue with Seoul on denuclearization. Working military meeting between the two Koreas in the border village of Panmunjom is aimed at preparing the agendas, dates and venue for a high-level military meeting that North Korea proposed last week, sources with the South Korean Defense Ministry local agency Yonhap.
This is the first time that military officials from both sides have met since the exchange of gunfire in the Yellow Sea border on 23 November, which raised the maximum tension in the area. That incident involved the bombing of the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong by North Korea and killed two soldiers and two civilians in South Korea.
North Korea received the proposal for dialogue for the February 11 through the military line of communication from the village of Panmunjom, a spokesman said South Korean Defense. After several calls North Korean bilateral dialogue without conditions since the beginning of 2011, Seoul finally agreed last week to meet, but from the outset has urged Pyongyang to apologize for the incident Yeonpyeong and the collapse in March of corvette Cheonan, which killed 46 sailors.
In parallel, the Ministry of Unification of South Korea today proposed bilateral talks Pyongyang to discuss denuclearization, Yonhap said. Seoul asks North Korea to demonstrate its commitment to denuclearize by shares after it emerged that has begun to enrich uranium, which could increase their ability to obtain nuclear weapons.
North Korea has always maintained that its nuclear development is intended to deter America from invading its territory and believes that these issues must be negotiated with Washington. The six-party talks involving China, EU, the two Koreas, Japan and Russia have been stalled since late 2008 for unilateral North Korean boycott.
