South Korea's unification ministry says it will discuss how to reopen the Kaesong industrial park with North Korea.

 

　　This comes a day after Seoul and Pyongyang agreed to hold working-level talks at the truce village of Panmunjeom Saturday.

 

　　Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk.

 

　　"We told the North that the agendas of the talks are the Kaesong Industrial Park's facility check and taking out finished and raw materials from the park as well as normalization of the industrial park. It is likely that several issues related to these matters would be discussed."

 

　　The Kaesong industrial park, which houses over 100 South Korean companies, has been suspended for nearly three months after Pyongyang banned about 53-thousand of its workers from reporting to work.

 

　　Seoul also withdrew its personnel after the DPRK rejected working-level talks.

 

　　The two sides sought to hold high-level talks last month, but that scheduled dialogue was cancelled due to dispute over the ranks of chief delegates.
