VFP-Korea Peace CampaignTWO KOREAS MOVE TO EASE MILITARY TENSION Agence France-Presse (2007-10-04) reported that after half a century of hostility, the DPRK and ROK moved today to ease tension along their closely guarded land and sea borders. A "peace zone" is to be created in the area around the disputed western sea border known as the Northern Limit Line (NLL), scene of bloody naval clashes in 1999 and 2002. ROK President Roh Moo-Hyun and DPRK leader Kim Jong-Il said they would set up a joint fishing area to avoid clashes, and allow civilian ships to travel freely in the volatile area in the Yellow Sea. The peace zone will encompass the DPRK's southwestern port of Haeju, also home to one of its navy commands. |
