남북 20개 감시초소 이번주 완전 철거 완료 예정, JSA는 공동운영방식 논의중
The two Koreas are continuing to tear down guard posts in the DMZ.
All part of joint efforts to alleviate military tensions in the border regions.
Park Ji-won zooms in on the changes being made.
The two Koreas have been demolishing 10 guard posts each in the DMZ... since early this month,... and it is expected the demolition process will be completed by the end of this week.
This is according to a military source,... speaking to Arirang News Wednesday afternoon.
Once completed,... a thorough inspection process will be initiated,... to confirm the complete demolition of the guard posts on both sides.
Yet the military source said,... no details about the inspection process have been decided as of now,... and it will be determined,... following more inter-Korean military talks.
It is also highly likely that the inspection could be conducted by the Inter-Korean Joint Military Committee,... which the two Koreas have agreed to set up during September's comprehensive military agreement.
Although the two Koreas have yet to reach a conclusion on how to form the Military Committee,... the military source said the committee is likely to launch sometime next month.
Earlier this month,... two Koreas revealed to the media... images of guard post facilities in the DMZ being torn down.
Over at the Joint Security Area,... located in the truce village of Panmunjeom,... the two Koreas, as well as the United Nations Command,... have already completed a two-day joint inspection on the demilitarization of the area in late October.
According to the military source,... the three sides are currently discussing ways to jointly manage the patrols of the Joint Security Area,... and allow civilian visits.
It is not yet clear, though, when the three-way consultations will come to a conclusion on the matter.
Meanwhile,... the 12-meter-wide inter-Korean road in the DMZ, at Arrowhead Hill in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do Province,... will be paved for vehicle use.
The pavement and ditch-digging operations are likely to be completed,... by early next year,... to faciliate the first-ever joint war remains recovery project between the two Koreas,... starting next April.
