As of today, South Korea and the D.P.R.K. have officially committed to cease all hostile acts against each other. It's all part of a comprehensive military agreement signed between defense chiefs at the Pyongyang leaders' summit. It's the latest in a sudden and dramatic overhaul of the Demilitarized Zone. CGTN's Jack Barton is at the DMZ with more.

JACK BARTON DMZ "The new buffer zone in and surrounding the DMZ has now officially taken effect. It is ten kilometers wide, so here on the south Korean side it stretches two kilometers from the Military Demarcation Line to the fence you can see behind me which marks the start of the civilian restricted area and then it stretches a further three kilometers south from where I am standing. The zone, which also extends into the ocean on both coasts and includes a no-fly zone, was agreed to at the last summit between South Korea's President Moon Jae-in and D.P.R.K leader Kim Jong Un. Both Koreas have pledged to refrain from all hostile acts as of November 1 and all live fire exercises whether in the air, on land or in the sea are prohibited. Military exercises at a regimental level are also forbidden inside the zone, which will also be off limits to warships and military aircraft in a bid to ease tensions. Having already had all weapons removed, security personnel from both Koreas inside the Joint Security Area will now be able to move about freely in a neutral zone rather than the traditional face off over the demarcation line. The move came as President Moon addressed South Korea's National Assembly calling on lawmakers to support the current diplomacy while repeating his belief that Kim Jong Un will soon visit the south. And at the Pentagon defense chiefs from Seoul and Washington agreed that control of their combined forces on the peninsula will be transferred from the U.S. to South Korean command after a review next year of the south's defense capabilities. The joint defense chiefs also agreed that the Vigilant Ace wargames scheduled for December would be suspended, all part of attempts to keep the current positive momentum in denuclearization talks moving forward.
