Seoul's plan to give 50-thousand tons of rice as food assistance to Pyeongyang has been approved... by a South Korean committee comprised of government and civilian panels, dedicated to promoting inter-Korean exchanges.
50-thousand tons of rice will be delivered to the North via the World Food Programme to support over 2 million people.
The government will be spending 23-point-6 million U.S. dollars to get the rice and 12 million dollars to help the organization deliver and distribute it.
