Vice President Kamala Harris plans to visit the border between the Republic of Korea and North Korea, marking the first time that a top Biden administration official has gone to the Demilitarized Zone.
The visit will take place on Thursday.
“I think your visit to DMZ and Seoul will be very symbolic demonstrations of your strong commitments to the security and peace to Korean Peninsula and we are working with you and U.S. in dealing with North Korea,” South Korea’s Prime Minister Han Duck-soo told Harris in Japan, where she had gone to attend the state funeral of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
