SKOREA-NKOREA-PANMUNJOM

North Koreans work to reconstruct buildings in the propaganda village of Gijungdong near the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone dividing the two Koreas on March 26, 2008. South Korea’s new conservative government signalled a firmer line with North Korea, saying it must scrap all its nuclear programmes to secure better relations and long-term economic aid.
