level military talks. The two sides
also agreed to resume taking down propaganda billboards and
posters along the DMZ.
The last high-level military talks were held in June 2004,
but were put on hold with other inter-Korean contacts after
the North was angered by mass defections of its citizens to
the South. Official meetings between the Koreas resumed in
May, and the two have since agreed to a series of new
reconciliation moves.
No peace treaty was signed at the end of the 1950-53
Korean War, leaving the two Koreas still technically at
war.
