Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- The Second North-South Defence Minister-Level Talks closed Thursday.
At the talks both sides earnestly discussed military measures to implement the "Declaration for Development of North-South Relations and Peace and Prosperity".
According to the agreement adopted at the talks, both sides decided to take military measures to put an end to the military hostile relations, ensure detente and peace, prevent a war and sincerely honor their commitments to non-aggression.
They also agreed to take practical measures to prevent clashes in the West Sea and ensure peace and cooperate with each other in the military field to put an end to the present ceasefire system and build a lasting peace mechanism.
They decided to take measures to provide a military guarantee for north-south cooperation and exchange.
Concluding the talks, Kim Il Chol, minister of the People's Armed Forces, said that there are still many issues to be solved in order to thoroughly implement the historic October 4 declaration, adding that these tasks can be successfully fulfilled only when the Koreans boldly buckle down to implementing them with the firm determination and patriotic will to fundamentally settle the issues of the country's peace and military detente strictly in the spirit of "By our nation itself."
If one sees only a small thing, failing to see something big for the future of the country and nation, one will commit a serious guilt before history, he noted.
He called on both sides to make positive efforts to bring about greater results conducive to the development of the inter-Korean relations and peace and prosperity, not content with the success made at the talks.
