SEOUL - North Korea is planning a major celebration this week for the Korean War armistice anniversary to be attended by Chinese diplomats, the first known foreign visitors since the isolated nation’s 2020 Covid-19 pandemic border closure.
Seoul’s Defence Ministry said on Tuesday it had detected more “people and equipment” in the capital Pyongyang, adding that South Korean and US intelligence agencies were closely monitoring the North’s upcoming celebration. Beijing said the delegation would travel to Pyongyang on Wednesday, suggesting they would not be required to undergo an extensive quarantine ahead of the Thursday anniversary event.
He added that it could also be a sign that the border between the North and China might be reopened in the not too distant future.
