South Korea said on Friday (January 8) it was not yet considering shutting down the Kaesong industrial complex run jointly with North Korea, located north of the rivals’ border, after the North’s latest nuclear test this week.
“We’re not at the stage that we can say whether we will close (the Kaesong Industrial Complex) or pull out (people),” said South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman, Jeong Joon-hee, at a news briefing.
The Unification Ministry also said there has been no government decision on what North Korea needs to do to end the South’s propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at the border scheduled to begin at noon (0300 GMT) on Friday. (Reuters)
