S. Korean officials visit Kaesong Industrial Complex for setting up liaison office

2018-06-19 4

The two Koreas continue to work on establishing a liaison office.
South Korean officials are once again visiting the Kaesong Industrial Complex,... a potential site to set up the office.
We go to our Unification Ministry correspondent Oh Jung-hee who's standing by on the line.
Jung-hee, what do you have for us?

You're right, Semin.
A team of South Korean officials are making another trip to the inter-Korean Kaesong Industrial Complex today.
They are expected to have crossed the inter-Korean land border by now.
There are 17 people making the trip -- including those from South Korea's Unification Ministry and private sector firm Hyundai Asan which played a key role in setting up the now-suspended factory park.
Today's visit is to check the site where they plan to set up a joint liaison office with North Korea in the near future, as agreed at the two Koreas' high-level talks early this month.
This is the second time South Korean officials are visiting the complex.
They made a day-long trip two weeks ago... and found that one of the buildings -- the inter-Korean interaction and cooperation office -- had its basement flooded.
The South Korean government is looking to set up a temporary liaison office in another building... and so today's trip will be to look at how to renovate those two buildings in particular.
The team plans to return to South Korea early this evening and make another trip north tomorrow.
Semin.
