Seoul called on Pyeongyang to begin operating the inter-Korean military committee as soon as possible.
At a press briefing earlier today, the nation's unification ministry said the joint body, agreed to be formed at the September inter-Korean summit, should start running quickly to build bilateral military confidence.
This comes after the regime's reunification committee issued an official statement on Thursday for the first time in three months slamming South Korea for raising tensions on the Peninsula.
It blamed the nation for conducting joint exercises with the U.S. which the North perceives as "aggressive war rehearsals", and for adopting high-tech weapons despite their agreement to lower tensions.
