South Korea Begins Removing Border Propaganda Speakers in Conciliatory Gesture Toward North
SOUTH KOREA, AUG 4 – South Korea halted anti-North Korean broadcasts in June and began removing border loudspeakers to ease tensions without affecting military readiness, officials said.
- South Korea's military began removing loudspeakers along the border with North Korea on Monday to ease tensions between the two countries.
- This action follows President Lee Jae Myung's order to stop propaganda broadcasts in June as part of his effort to improve relations, despite Pyongyang's rejection of dialogue.
- The loudspeakers formerly broadcast anti-North Korean propaganda in response to balloons sent by Pyongyang, and their removal does not reduce South Korea's military readiness.
- Lee Kyung-ho announced that the military has started dismantling the loudspeakers as of today, describing the move as a sensible step to reduce tensions without jeopardizing military preparedness.
- The removal marks a conciliatory step amid stalled talks, as Kim Yo Jong last week warned South Korea against expecting quick reversal of past disputes through sentimental gestures.
