South Korea seeks U.N. approval to reopen three DMZ trail sections closed in 2024 due to North Korea tensions, aiming for peace and trust-building by 2026.
South Korea is seeking U.N. Command approval to reopen three closed sections of the DMZ Peace Trail in Paju, Cheorwon, and Goseong, shut in April 2024 due to security concerns amid North Korea tensions.

Diplomatic consultations are underway, with hopes to restore the full trail by 2026.
