North and South Korea both have powerful armies and weapons massed along the border.

So, under a deal signed last month, they're forming a committee to prevent military aggression.

At their latest high-level meeting, the Koreas discussed who would make up that committee and how it would manage the reduction of guard posts along the DMZ.

Regular committee meetings would also discuss troop movements and military exercises on both sides of the border.

The meeting comes after both sides removed firearms and troops and guard posts from the Joint Security Area in the DMZ.

The Joint Security Area is usually the spot for negotiations between the two Koreas.

But it's also been the scene of several bloody shootouts since the end of the Korean War.

To prevent that from happening again and help along current peace talks, all troops and weapons were removed from that area.

Unarmed North and South Korean military police will now be able to patrol freely on both sides of the line separating the two countries.

And the changes could mean a boon for DMZ tourism. Korean visitors and foreign tourists will also be able to step across that famous dividing line.
