South Korea's Defence Ministry on Thursday (November 22) released a video of South amd North Korean military officers meeting at the border to reconnect a road across the two countries.

In the video, which was filmed in mid-November, military officers from the two Koreas were at the military demarcation line (MDL) during the road construction in the demilitarised zone (DMZ). Military officers from the two Koreas had short talks about the schedule and progress of construction, the ministry added.

The two Koreas reconnected a road across the MDL inside the DMZ on Thursday in joint efforts to exhume remains of soldiers killed duringKorea War, which was part of military agreement signed in latest inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang.

The 3 km-long tactical road was established in a site that the two parties have designated for the project as it was a notorious battle site of the war. (Reuters)
