North Korea is withdrawing from a joint liaison office near the demilitarized zone with South Korea, a key symbol of the rapprochement and ongoing peace process between the two countries
Seoul North Korea is withdrawing from a joint liaison office near the demilitarized zone with South Korea, a key symbol of the rapprochement and ongoing peace process between the two countries.
The move comes after the US slapped two Chinese firms with sanctions for doing business with Pyongyang, the first action taken by Washington against North Korea since the second summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in Hanoi ended early with no agreement. South Korea's Unification Ministry announced the move Friday, saying the decision had been taken by the North on"instructions from the superior authority.
— Chad O'Carroll March 22, 2019 North Korea has yet to issue any direct public statement on the decision to withdraw. Chad O'Carroll, an analyst and chief executive of the Korea Risk Group, said the move was to be expected following the failure of the Hanoi summit. "North Korea's pull-out Friday from the Kaesong Liason Office has been on cards since Hanoi, given recent no-shows there," he said on Twitter.
