South Korea will consider suspending the inter-Korean agreement if Pyongyang violates its territory

MADRID, 4 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Wednesday that his government should consider suspending the Comprehensive Military Agreement signed with North Korea in 2018 to reduce tension on the peninsula.

"If North Korea carries out another provocation by invading our territory, consider suspending the military agreement," Yoon said, in statements collected by the Yonhap news agency, after a closed-door meeting with the Ministry of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The office of the South Korean leader has already indicated on previous occasions that the inter-Korean agreement could come to an end due to the numerous ballistic tests by Pyongyang, which has caused the escalation of tensions in the region in recent months.

Likewise, Yoon has ordered Defense to "create a joint drone unit to carry out multipurpose missions such as surveillance and reconnaissance."
