The Republic of Korea (ROK) announced Monday that it has stopped propaganda broadcasts over the border with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) ahead of inter-Korean summit talks this week.
The ROK's Ministry of National Defense said it's expected to "reduce military tensions" and help to create "the mood of peaceful talks" on the peninsula in a statement.
The move followed Pyongyang's recent peace gestures, including the weekend announcement of the decisions to shut down its nuclear test facilities and suspend nuclear tests and long-range missile launches.
