South Korea Proposes Rare Military Talks With North Korea

   South Korea has proposed holding military talks with the North, after weeks of heightened tension following Pyongyang's long-range missile test.

   According to report, if they were to go ahead, it would be the first high-level talks since 2015.
  A senior official said talks should aim to stop all hostile activities that raise military tension at the fortified border between both countries.
  Although, South Korea's President Moon Jae-in has long signaled he wants closer engagement with the North, North Korea is yet to respond to the proposal.
  In a recent speech in Berlin, Mr Moon said dialogue with the North was more pressing than ever and called for a peace treaty to be signed.
  However, the North's frequent missile tests, including the most recent one of an intercontinental ballistic missile, are in consistent violation of UN resolutions and have alarmed its neighbours and the US.
