Koreas hold meeting of liaison office chiefs amid delayed cross-border projects
SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) — South and North Korea held a meeting of liaison office chiefs Friday amid worries over a delay in some of their agreed-upon joint projects, the unification ministry said.
Vice Unification Minister Chun Hae-sung and his North Korean counterpart, Jon Jong-su, met at the liaison office in the North’s border town of Kaesong at 10 a.m. for about an hour, according to the ministry.
“Both had a comprehensive discussion on various pending issues recently raised by the Koreas and reaffirmed that they will make unswerving efforts to advance inter-Korean relations, including the enforcement of the Pyongyang Declaration in September,” the ministry said in a text message sent to reporters later in the day.
