South removing loudspeakers in gesture to North
South Korean authorities have begun removing loudspeakers blaring anti-North Korea broadcasts along the country’s border, Seoul’s defence ministry says, as the new government of President Lee Jae Myung seeks to ease tensions with Pyongyang. Shortly after he took office in June, Lee’s administration switched off propaganda broadcasts criticising the North Korean regime as it looks to revive stalled dialogue with its neighbour.
