S Korea calls on North to reopen complex |
2013-04-04 |
[Al Jizz] South Korea has called on the North to open a joint industrial complex that was shut down by Pyongyang in the latest escalation of tensions between the two countries. Hundreds of workers from the South are stuck at the joint industrial complex just over the border after the North banned South Koreans to the site on Wednesday, officials said. "North Korea's measure to ban South Koreans from entering Kaesong industrial zone is causing a serious trouble in Kaesong's operation," Kim Hyung-suk, South Korean Unification Ministry front man, said. "To expedite the investment on North Korea which the North itself hopes for, there has to be a mutual trust between South Korea, North Korea and the international society." Wednesday's move sparked fears the North could carry out its threatened shutdown of the complex as part of a standoff with Washington and Seoul. |
