| Two Koreas Met in Kaesong Thursday |
| 2009-07-03 |
| Working-level officials from the two Koreas are poised to hold their third round of talks on issues related to operations at the joint industrial park in Kaesong on Thursday. The two previous sessions ended with little progress on narrowing the gap over differences between the two sides. Seoul has been demanding the release of a Hyundai Asan worker detained in the North since late March for allegedly denouncing North Korea's political system and encouraging a female North Korean to defect. Pyongyang for its part has refused to address this matter and instead appears determined to see a significant rise in wage and rent from the South for industrial activities at the joint complex. |
