South Korea will completely suspend its military agreement concluded in 2018 with the North in order to reduce tensions between the two countries, the National Security Council announced in Seoul on Monday after Pyongyang sent hundreds of balloons filled with rubbish on the other side of the border.
Seoul had already partially suspended the agreement last year following Pyongyang’s orbiting of a spy satellite, but the National Security Council said it would ask the cabinet to “totally suspend” the military agreement “until “so that mutual trust between the two Koreas is re-established.”
