US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visited the Joint Security Area and Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) of the Korean Peninsula on Friday.
Tillerson, who is on a two-day visit to South Korea as part of his Asia tour, arrived at Osan Air Base earlier on Friday and went straight to the DMZ accompanied by General Vincent Brooks, commander of US Forces Korea.
During his two-day stay, the Secretary of State will also meet with Prime Minister and acting leader Hwang Kyo-ahn and Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se.
Seoul is the second stop for Tillerson after Japan on his first Asia tour as US Secretary of State.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Friday visited the world's most heavily armed border, greeting U.S. soldiers on guard near the tense buffer zone between rivals North and South Korea.
Tillerson touched down by helicopter at Camp Bonifas, a U.S. base about 400 meters (438 yards) from the Demilitarized Zone, a Cold War vestige created after the Korean War ended in 1953. He planned to then move to the truce village of Panmunjom inside the DMZ, a cluster of blue huts where the Korean War armistice was signed.
Tillerson is the latest in a parade of senior U.S. officials to have their photos taken at the border. But it's the first trip by the new Trump administration's senior diplomat as he makes a tour of Japan, South Korea and China.
