North Korea plans to close its nuclear weapons test site in May and give South Korean and US experts and the media access to the process, South Korea says.
The closure was apparently decided upon when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met for a historic summit on Friday. They also agreed to make the dismantlement public, Moon’s chief press secretary Yoon Young-chan said.
“Some say that we are terminating facilities that are not functioning, but you will see that they are in good condition,” Yoon quoted Kim as saying. The North’s leader said he would invite security experts and journalists.
The Seoul spokesperson also said Kim will change the North Korean time zone to match that of the South. Currently, Seoul is 30 minutes ahead of Pyongyang.
