The new Liberal President of South Korea on Friday announced a plan to restore the 2018 military agreement with his neighbor in an attempt to eliminate some military activities with his border with North Korea and reduce the boundary tension.
Speaking on the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule, President Lee J. Mayung said that he would return a comprehensive military agreement on September 19, a de-size-cycation measures between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former South Korean Liberal President Moon Jae-in.
Lee said during his speech, “Everyone knows that long -standing enmity benefited people in any of two Korea.”

The agreement abolished some military activities on the border between the two countries, including a buffer zone and no-fly area over the border to prevent the fight. It also ended military exercises near the border and removed some guard posts with a dimilitated zone.
The deal was signed at an inter-coorian summit in 2018, but eventually separated as a cross-limit tension.
Lee called North to respond to Seoul’s efforts to revive the trust and revive the dialogue, although how Pyongyang would respond is not clear.

In recent weeks, top North Korean officials have rejected other steps to reduce tension between the two countries by Lee.
The new President of the south pointed out his government’s efforts to reduce the tension, including the anti-North Korea leaflets, stopping the launch of balloons floating by the workers and the loudspeakers promotional broadcast across the border.
“In particular, to prevent casual clashes between South and North Korea and create a military trust, we will take active, gradual steps to restore the September 19 military agreement,” Lee said.
