Civilian tours to southern side of Joint Security Area resume from Wednesday
- 5 years ago
Tours to the southern side of the Joint Security Area,... which had been halted since last October,... resume today.
Tours had been stopped because of work to remove landmines and the withdrawal of military posts in the area.
Both operations were part of the inter-Korean Comprehensive Military Agreement signed last September aimed at disarming the JSA, which sits inside the Demilitarized Zone.
Seoul's defense ministry also says it's working with North Korea and UN Command to allow visitors access to the northern side of the JSA.
