US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday began his visit to South Korea by touring the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea with his South Korean counterpart, Ahn Gyu-back.
Hegseth and Ahn received a briefing from military officials at Observation Post Ouellette, which is located near the DMZ. They also visited the Panmunjom border village, where the armistice that paused the 1950-1953 Korean War was signed.
This was the first time in eight years that a US Secretary of Defense has made such a visit. According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, Hegseth was expected to meet with Korean and American troops stationed at the DMZ.
