South Korea will strengthen efforts to recover the remains of war dead.
By next year, they'll assign 48 more experts to recovery work, and quadruple the number of staff tasked with getting DNA samples from the relatives of the fallen Korean War heroes.
According to the defense ministry, the decision is a follow-up to agreements made in the April summit,... which includes turning the DMZ into a peace zone.
Seoul and Pyongyang have been discussing possible joint work to recover war remains there too.
President Moon Jae-in has said such efforts will be his first priority when inter-Korean relations improve.
Of some ten-thousand sets of remains recovered so far,... only about one percent have been identified.
