Ackerman crosses Korean border amid diplomacy push
Representative Gary Ackerman becomes the first U S official to cross the Panmunjom border since the Korean War, visiting North Korea and meeting Kim Il Sung and South Korea. The trip, framed as an icebreaker, comes amid international pressure on Pyongyang over nuclear inspections and stalled inter-Korean talks. Ackerman calls the crossing symbolic of eventual peaceful Korean unification.
