The Joint Security Area is the only portion of the Korean Demilitarized Zone where South and North Korean forces stand face-to-face. From time to time, it is the scene of negotiations between South and North.

The Joint Security Area lies within the village of Panmunjom . Notable landmarks within the JSA include the Bridge Of No Return and the tree where the Poplar Tree Incident of 1976 and the Soviet defector incident of 1984 took place.
