On January 22, North Korea proposed to South Korea for a round of military talks on Tuesday, January 26, to discuss transportation, communications, and customs system at the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC). Today, South Korea notified the North that its desire to
postpone the military meeting until after the second round of talks on improving the operation of the KIC is held on February 1.
The South Korea Ministry of National Defense said it would make more sense to hold the military talks after the results of February 1 meeting, and that it would propose a new date to North Korea at "an appropriate" time.
On one hand, it is a very reasonable and pragmatic statement...on the other, it is some good old positioning.
