Two Koreas to dismantle border propaganda
South and North Korean military officials agreed Wednesday to resume stalled work on dismantling propaganda materials on the Cold War's last frontier, officials said.
The agreement came at inter-Korean military talks, which were held at the border truce village of Panmunjom to prepare for a general-level meeting on easing tension, the South's defense ministry said.
"South and North Korea agreed to restart the elimination of propaganda materials on July 25 and complete it by August 13," the ministry said in a statement.

Under the accord, they began dismantling all propaganda materials and turned off electronic signboards and high-performance loudspeaker batteries on each side of the border.
