Korean War Truce Signing

Korean War Truce Signing
In July 1953 North Korea and China, allies in the Korean War, signed a truce agreement at Panmunjeom (P’anmunjŏm) with the United Nations command that had supported South Korea. The agreement ended fighting on the Korea Peninsula, but a permanent peace settlement between South Korea and North Korea has not been reached.
