| 2010-02-12 |
| SEOUL, Feb. 12 (Yonhap) -- South Korea proposed to North Korea on Friday that working-level military officials meet later this month to discuss restrictions hindering transportation and communications in and out of a joint factory park in the North, defense officials said. The proposal for a new round of inter-Korean talks comes as Pyongyang is showing a renewed willingness to rejoin suspended multinational denuclearization talks, with its top officials meeting with a United Nations envoy in Pyongyang and its top nuclear negotiator in Beijing. "We have proposed to the North to hold the talks on Feb. 23 at the House of Peace near Panmunjeom," said Won Tae-jae, spokesman for Seoul's defense ministry. |
