Ten South Korean officials and forestry experts left Seoul this morning for a three-day visit to North Korea for inter-Korean forestry cooperation.
The group are traveling via Beijing.... and will arrive in Pyeongyang on Tuesday.
Their trip comes after officials from Seoul visited North Korea's border town of Gaeseong late last month.... to deliver pesticides and perform pest control operations.
Seoul's unification ministry says.... the group will see how the chemicals have been distributed and used... and will visit tree nurseries and factories making forestry equipment.
They'll also have working-level discussions with their North Korean counterparts to carry out what was agreed at the forestry talks in late October.
