Panmunjom Media Day

PANMUNJOM, SOUTH KOREA - MAY 01: South Koreans take selfies as they tour the truce village of Panmunjom inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating the South and North Korea on May 01, 2019 in Panmunjom, South Korea. South Korean Defense Ministry announced to resume a tour to Panmunjom for the public starting from May 1. The decision has been made seven months after the United Nations Command (UNC) and the two Koreas began discussion on the implementation of a code on free movement in the Joint Security Area (JSA) last October. As per the agreement on the demilitarization of the JSA, unarmed guards walk public visitors through major spots. Defense Ministry seems to hope that North Korea will take forward-looking steps toward discussing free movement in the JSA. The relevant talks were initiated between the United Nations Command and the two Koreas, but there has been little progress due to North Korea’s lack of engagement.
