The U.S. is expecting to receive the first unilateral transfer of POW/MIA remains from North Korea in over a decade tomorrow, a U.S. State Department official confirmed to NK News on Thursday, in a move marking the 65th anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement.
Speaking over the phone, the State Department official, who wished to remain anonymous citing Washington’s lead on the efforts, said that the transfer would not take place at Panmunjom as with many past unilateral transfers.
