SEOUL, Sept. 23 (Korea Bizwire) — The two Koreas and the United Nations Command joined hands to repair a typhoon-damaged building at the truce village of Panmunjom earlier this month in the first such joint work since the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, officials said Monday.
From Sept. 12-14, the three sides jointly repaired the roof of a conference building located on the North Korean side of the Joint Security Area (JSA) inside the Demilitarized Zone in the wake of the season’s 13th typhoon, called Lingling.
Some 10 North Korean personnel mobilized for the work crossed the military demarcation line (MDL) within the JSA freely with the approval of the UNC, according to the officials.
