In the same announcement, North Korea invited journalists from the U.S., South Korea, China, Britain and Russia to witness the event. Kim had already revealed plans to shut the test site by the end of May during his summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last month. North Korea has invited the outside world to witness the dismantling of its nuclear facilities before. The administration of George W. Bush removed North Korea from the list in October 2008 after the country agreed to continue disabling its nuclear plant. The North went on to conduct its second nuclear test in May 2009.
