North Korea to Destroy Nuclear Test Areas

North Korea (North Korea) will destroy the nuclear test site at the end of May. This is done ahead of a summit with the United States (US). The North promised to blow up the tunnel in front of all invited foreign media.

US President Donald Trump praised North Korea's decision to dismantle the Punggye-ri test site scheduled for May 23-25. This is one of the new steps taken by North Korea's top leader, Kim Jong Un.
"Thank you for being very smart and friendly," Trump said through his Twitter account @realdonaldrump.

Punggye-ri is in the north-east of North Korea. The site has six nuclear tests. Kim has announced the development of nuclear power in North Korea will be completed.According to the Foreign Ministry of North Korea, the tunnel of explosion test site is completely blocked. All observation facilities and research institutes will be removed and the surrounding area must also be fully closed.

The plan, journalists from China, Russia, the United States, Britain and South Korea will be allowed to cover the destruction. Restrictions on the number of foreign journalists remain, because the area is in an uninhabited mountainous region, but there are still representatives from these countries.

"We hope the sound of dynamite blowing up tunnels in Punggye-ri will be the first tribute in our journey to the nuclear-free Korean peninsula," a South Korean presidential spokesman said.

The meeting mediated by South Korea (South Korea) will take place on June 12, 2018 in Singapore. The meeting will also change tensions between the two countries over the years.

However, some people in the US still warn that Pyongyang has not destroyed its weapons that could destroy the entire continent. Meanwhile, Washington also still needs a complete denuclearization, verifiable and irreversible.
