Two Koreas to verify trial DMZ guard post removal on December 12: MND

ROK says plans reflect "trust" built between Seoul and Pyongyang

The North and South Korean militaries will next week conduct an on-site mutual verification of the trial withdrawal and demolition of 20 guard posts (GPs) along the demilitarized zone (DMZ), the ROK's vice defense minister Suh Choo-suk said on Thursday.
