On Wednesday, the Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau visited the Joint Security Area in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The minister toured military installations and an exhibition dedicated to the history of the area. He also spoke with American, Swiss, and Swedish soldiers stationed there as part of a ceasefire monitoring mission.

The demilitarized zone, established by the Panmunjom agreement, serves as an unofficial border between the two Koreas since the Korean War ended with a ceasefire in 1953. The zone is often referred to as the last remaining Cold War border.

In an interview, the minister emphasized the importance of his visit to the area and recognized the lasting impact of division on the Korean peninsula. He highlighted the increasing differences between communist North Korea and democratic South Korea, both socially and economically, as well as the constant threat of weapons from the North.

The minister's visit to the demilitarized zone and subsequent meetings were the final points of his visit to South Korea. He will be traveling to Vietnam for an official visit in the evening.
