Gradual Withdrawal Of Troops Proposed
In Panmunjom the Communist negotiators urged immediate talks on a staged withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea after an armistice. They argue such a process would ease allied fears of renewed fighting once a truce takes effect. The Allies say troop withdrawal is a political issue for a formal peace conference post armistice. Lt Gen Nam Il posed a hypothetical on discussing staged removal under the agenda’s third item. The plan echoes a proposal raised when talks opened last July, but stalled against allied opposition.
