North Korea has expressed regret over two South Korean border guards injured by a landmine blast and promised to make efforts to prevent a similar incident from happening again, according to South Korea's National Security Office Chief Kim Kwan-jin. The North also decided to withdraw its declaration of "quasi-state of war" against Seoul, he said.

In return, South Korea will turn off its frontline loudspeakers blaring anti-North messages from Tuesday noon on the condition that the North will not make any "abnormal" behavior.

The two Koreas also agreed to host the reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War in late September. A separate Red Cross talks will be held early September to organize the reunion meetings.

The two sides said they will hold an official meeting either in Seoul or Pyongyang in the near future to discuss exchanges.

The agreements came after nearly 40 hours of talks that started Saturday and was held at the truce village of Panmunjeom.


Chronology of inter-Korean talks under President Park Geun-hye

Kim and Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo sat down for the rare high-level dialogue with Pyongyang's Hwang Pyong-so, director of the general political department of the Korean People's Army and Kim Yang-gon, director of the United Front Department in charge of cross-border affairs to defuse tension. Tension on the Korean Peninsula reached a shrill level following the Aug. 4 landmine blast in the Demilitarized Zone and last week's exchange of fire between the two Koreas.

The United States Monday welcomed a breakthrough deal and reiterated support for Seoul's efforts to improve ties with the communist North.

"The United State welcomes the agreement reached between the Republic of Korea and the DPRK earlier today. We support President Park's tireless efforts to improve inter-Korean relations, which support peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula," State Department spokesman John Kirby said at a regular briefing.




북한 도발 유감표명·남한 대북확성기방송 중단

북, 최근 도발에 유감표명, 남 대북확성기 방송중단 포함


북한의 비무장지대(DMZ) 목함지뢰 도발과 서부전선 포격 도발로 초래된 한반도 군사적 긴장 상황을 논의하는 남북 고위급 접촉이 25일 극적으로 타결됐다.

남북한이 22일부터 25일 새벽까지 무박 4일간 43시간 이상의 마라톤 협상을 진행한 끝에 극적 합의를 이룬 것이다. 

민경욱 대변인은 이날 새벽 브리핑을 통해 '남북고위급 당국자 접촉이 오늘 0시 55분 종료됐다'며 '한시간 뒤에 김관진 국가안보실장이 춘추관에서 브리핑을 할 예정이며, 브리핑 시작 시간은 (판문점에서 춘추관으로) 이동하는 시간에 따라 변경될 수 있다'고 말했다.

김 실장이 이날 새벽 2시께 발표할 것으로 예상되는 합의문에는 북한이 최근 도발에 대해 유감을 표명하고 우리 측이 대북 확성기 방송을 중단하는 내용이 포함된 것으로 알려졌다. 

남북은 북한의 도발로 촉발된 군사적 긴장상황을 해결하기 위해 지난 23일 오후 3시30분부터 고위급 접촉을 재개했으나 합의점을 도출하지 못한 채 이날 새벽까지 진행된 협상에서 막판 난항을 겪었으나 극적으로 합의점을 도출한 것으로 전해졌다. 

앞서 남북 대표단은 지난 22일 오후 6시30분부터 23일 새벽 4시15분까지 10시간 가까이 무박 2일 협상을 진행했다.  

박근혜 정부 들어 남북 최고위급 접촉인 이번 협상에는 남측에선 김관진 국가안보실장과 홍용표 통일부 장관이, 북측에선 황병서 군 총정치국장과 김양건 노동당 비서가 참석했다. (연합뉴스)
