Situated on the North Korean side of the Military Demarcation Line is the Unification (Tongil) Pavilion, also used as a venue for non-military, diplomatic meetings.[2][3][4] The Unification pavilion, located 80 metres (260 ft) northwest of Panmumgak, is a two-story, 1,500 square metres (16,000 sq ft) building built in 1969.[2][5] Closed-circuit television and microphones are installed in the meeting room of the North-South Talks, so that the situation can be monitored in real time in Pyongyang.
A portion of the Unification Pavilion has also been used for North Korean military personnel office space.
