Koreas Set Date for Reopening Kaesong
[VOA News] North and South Korea have agreed to reopen a jointly-run industrial park just inside the  North Korean border on a trial basis starting next Monday.The South's Unification Ministry says negotiators reached the deal on the Kaesong industrial complex following lengthy negotiations that lasted through early Wednesday. The two sides tentatively agreed last month to reopen the facility, which was effectively closed by the North in April. But the South was still looking for compensation for its companies hit by the closure. The owner of one of the Kaesong factories, Rok-Sec Garments President Park Young-man, told VOA's Korean service that he is very happy with the agreement, but the process of getting back to business will take some time.
