Seoul - Yonhap
The two Koreas are likely to clear another hurdle toward reopening an inter-Korean factory zone in North Korea as they appear to have little difference in their stances on the issue of creating a joint committee to oversee operations there, a government source said Tuesday. In a landmark deal, South and North Korea agreed last Wednesday to reopen the Kaesong Industrial Complex, which has been shuttered since early April after the North pulled all its 53,000 workers from factories run by South Korean firms there in protest of annual military exercises by South Korea and the United States.
