Unification Pavilion

The Unification Pavilion is a venue for peace talks between North and South Korea. The building is situated in the Joint Security Area on the North side of the Military Demarcation Line bisecting the area. Before the Korean War, the village, named Panmunjom, consisted of householders.
Overview.
Situated on the North Korean side of the Military Demarcation Line is the Unification ("Tongil") Pavilion, also used as a venue for non-military, diplomatic meetings. The Unification pavilion, located northwest of Panmumgak, is a two-story, building built in 1969. Closed-circuit television and microphones are installed in the meeting room of the North-South Talks, so that the situation can be monitored in real time in Pyongyang.
A portion of the Unification Pavilion has also been used for North Korean military personnel office space.
