What is the 9‧19 South-North Military Agreement?
North Korea’s Reconnaissance Satellite Launch and Abolition of the Military Agreement
On September 19, 2018, the Moon Jae-in administration adopted the 9‧19 military agreement at the Pyongyang summit.
Since then, in accordance with the military agreement, the South Korean military has been postponing and suspending the front-line defense system (fortified outposts and small outposts, US-ROK joint reconnaissance assets, psychological warfare against North Korea, etc.).
However, on November 21, 2023, despite the UN Security Council’s sanctions, North Korea launched the Manrikyeong 1 reconnaissance satellite and currently, the South Korean government has suspended the effectiveness of some provisions of the 9‧19 South-North Military Agreement, and North Korea has declared that it will de facto abolish the military agreement.
