China and South Korea held a handover ceremony on Wednesday morning at Incheon International Airport for the remains of 12 Chinese People's Volunteers soldiers killed in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953), along with 146 personal effects.
Lt. Gen. Michael Wright, commander of the Canadian Army, said in a Yonhap News Agency interview that the partnership between South Korea and Canada, forged during the Korean War, is growing stronger amid deepening military cooperation. He visited Gapyeong for the 75th anniversary of a key battle there. Troops from both nations began high-tech drills ahead of the event.

Lt. Gen. Scott Winter, deputy commander of the U.N. Command (UNC), urged prudence in any changes to the control and use of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas. He described the armistice as a "proven framework" and warned against undermining it. The remarks come as the U.S.-led UNC objects to bills promoting peaceful use of the military buffer zone.
