provide active military support for inter-Korean cooperation and transforming the DMZ into an
international peace zone promoted by the government.
In addition, as both parties agreed to organize and operate an Inter-Korean Joint Military Committee
based on the CMA, the ROK Armed Forces will continue to make efforts to organize an Inter-Korean
Joint Military Committee as early as possible and make thorough preparations to discuss not only the
issues specified in the CMA but also more diverse military issues related to the settlement of peace on

great strength, will support the ROK government’s efforts for complete denuclearization and settlement
of a permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula by actively implementing the CMA.
