Her army South Korea He announced that he had suspended his propaganda messages from loudspeakers at the border with North Koreain the context of an attempt to “restore trust” between the two countries.

According to the BBC, this move comes a week after the election of the new country’s new president, Lee Jay-Mung, who was pre-election committed to improving intra-organizations.

Pyongyang considers propaganda broadcasts by the Great War and has threatened to blow up in the past.

They had previously been interrupted for six years, but continued last June last year in response to Pyongyang’s campaign to send balloons full of rubbish to the border with South Korea.

In recent years, broadcasts have included news from the two Coreas and abroad, as well as information on democracy and life in South Korea.

Relations between North and South Korea had worsened under the previous President Yun Suk-Jo, who held a more aggressive attitude towards Pyongyang.

Yun, however, was brought to trial and was removed from his post because he briefly raised South Korea in Military Law in December, citing alleged threats from North Korea -backed forces.

His successor, Lee, had made a number of pre -election commitments, including the re -establishment of the dialogue with Pyongyang and the reduction of tensions between the two countries.

This move is aimed at “restoring confidence in intraocation and peace in the Korean Peninsula,” the army said in a statement.

According to a report by the Yonhap news agency, the army’s ruling also took into account the fact that the North no longer sends balloons full of garbage on the border. However, by inhibiting instead of ending the broadcasts, the army shows that loudspeakers could work again if needed, Yonhap added.

Seoul claims that the emissions can be heard up to 10 kilometers beyond the border during the day and up to 24 kilometers per night.

Suspension of the operation of the loudspeakers comes almost a year after the first repetition of their operation in June 2024 – when both countries were involved in various retaliation campaigns and propaganda balloons.

Reunification with the South has always been a key, though increasingly unrealistic, part of the north ideology since the founding of the state – until Kim left the idea earlier last year.

Both countries are still technically in war, as the Korean war ended in 1953 without a peace treaty.
