Both sides will be removing the mines from October 1st through the 20th.
During the process, officials from the South, the North and the UN Command will discuss new operational rules for soldiers working in the JSA after it's demilitarized.
They'll also discuss the possibility of tourists and visitors being allowed to visit both sides of the JSA.
