| Seoul Proposes Kaesong Talks | |
| 2013-05-15 | |
President Park Geun-hye on Tuesday called for talks with North Korea to discuss bringing South Korean products and raw materials out of the closed Kaesong Industrial Complex.
"I hope the Unification Ministry will propose talks with North Korea to bring back products and raw materials left behind at Kaesong as early as possible and reduce the damage for companies," Park said in a Cabinet meeting. But a Cheong Wa Dae official said the real objective is to engage the North in dialogue. "This is part of her trust-building process of dealing firmly with provocations but always leaving open the door for talks," the official said. Park recently outlined the strategy in Washington. North Korea has so far rejected any proposal of talks from Seoul, but Park is apparently determined to keep trying. | |

| #1 The whole Kaesong thing is a dead horse. Quit whipping it. Write it off, learn, and go on. |
