Seoul, Washington Discuss Missile Restrictions | |
2011-09-20 | |
Officials from Seoul and Washington are discussing a revision of restrictions on the range of South Korean missiles, Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said Monday. The current missile guidelines restrict the range of South Korean ballistic missiles to 300 km, but Seoul wants them to cover the entire peninsula, according to Kim.
Asked whether he wants to extend the range to cover all missile bases in the North, Kim said yes. The missile guidelines were worked out in 1979 and revised in 2001. | |
