Following the signing of the Armistice, the two sides conducted a mass prisoner exchange, repatriating a total of 88,596 personnel. Operation BIG SWITCH took place across the now famous "Bridge of No Return" in #Panmunjom. pic.twitter.com/PBYxcU6m5E

After a series of incidents in #Kaesong compelled UNC negotiators to pause negotiations, the Armistice conference moved to truly #neutral ground at #Panmunjom. Panmunjom remains the neutral ground for UNC-KPA #dialogue to this day. #판문점 pic.twitter.com/wETXIftX56

On 8 July 1951, #UNC liaison officers traveled to #KPA controlled territory in #Kaesong to set the conditions for the #Armistice Conference. They succeeded in their pre-negotiation efforts. #Didyouknow #UnderOneFlag #History pic.twitter.com/Mmsd20apJi

In response to Soviet signals, #UNC delivered a proposal on 30 June 1951 to the #KoreanPeoplesArmy for #Armistice talks aboard the #Danish hospital ship #Jutlandia off shore of #Wonsan. The KPA side issued a counterproposal to meet in #Kaesong. @DKAMBinKorea pic.twitter.com/svlfg52hVy
