返回信息流North Korean officials have mostly refused to sit across a table from what they call South Korean "traitors" for more than a year. Now, says South Korean Unification Ministry Spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo, the South has accepted an offer from Pyongyang to talk.
She says inter-Korean talks will take place on April 21st, next Tuesday. North Korea has suggested the talks to discuss the joint North-South industrial complex in the North Korean city of Kaesong. She says the government will do everything it can to ensure staff safety at Kaesong.
North Korea has detained for 3 weeks a South Korean executive who helps to manage the Kaesong factory park, saying he made disrespectful comments about the North's government. It was the latest in a series of problems facing the Kaesong zone, which was once viewed as the centerpiece of a 10-year South Korean experiment in engaging the North with heavy generosity and minimal criticism.
Conservative South Korean President Lee Myung-bak altered that experiment when he was inaugurated last year. He has said transfers of South Korean public money must be contingent on progress on several issues, chief among them, diplomacy to get rid of North Korea's nuclear weapons.
