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.
