Despite an agreement on the return of 12 military bases from the United States to Korea, the party responsible for cleaning up environmental contamination at the sites remains an outstanding issue between the allies.
The agreement was finalized, Friday, during a virtual joint committee session of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between Director-General Ko Yun-ju of the North American Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Lt. Gen. Scott Pleus, deputy commander of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK). The 12 sites include two plots of land in Yongsan Garrison, Camp Kim and four other sites in the capital city.
