SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea and South Korea began new talks today on their troubled joint industrial complex.
Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-Sung told reporters that the meeting started this morning. He did not elaborate.
The South Korean-run Kaesong complex is a prominent symbol of reconciliation. The project combines the South’s technology and management expertise with the North’s cheap labor.
But its viability has come under question in recent months as North Korea refused to release a South Korean worker detained in March for allegedly denouncing Pyongyang’s political system, while demanding a massive increase in payments and rent.
