The U.S. special representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, paid a visit this morning to the inter-Korean truce village of Panmunjeom.
According to sources at the foreign ministry,... Biegun visited the DMZ to observe first-hand how agreements aimed at reducing military tensions at the border have been implemented.
In September's inter-Korean military agreement,.. the two Koreas said they would demilitarize and jointly patrol the Joint Security Area.
The two sides have successfully removed arms from the JSA,... and are currently discussing how to jointly patrol the area.
The senior U.S. envoy,... however, is reportedly not planning to meet North Korean officials.
Later Thursday,... Biegun will hold a meeting on North Korean nuclear issues with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Do-hoon.
