update
- By Brian Padden
The upcoming inter-Korean summit (April 27) will take place in the uninhabited village of Panmunjom, inside the tense and highly fortified demilitarized zone that separates the communist North and the democratic South. VOA’s Brian Padden reports this historical site, where the Korean War armistice was signed in 1953, has since been a key point of contact for cross border communication and a major tourist destination.
