South Korea, U.S. to pause Key Resolve military exercise on day of inter-Korean summit
- 6 years ago
South Korea and the United States have agreed to temporarily halt their Key Resolve military drills on Friday,... the day of the Inter-Korean summit.
Seoul's defense ministry also says the usually two-month-long Foal Eagle field training drill will be cut short by a month.
It means Foal Eagle will end on Thursday,... a day before the summit.
Watchers say such measures can be interpreted as the allies' willingness to avoid provoking North Korea ahead of their scheduled summits with Pyongyang.
