Koreas to meet on Gaeseong
The two Koreas agreed on Thursday evening to hold talks Saturday on normalizing the suspended Gaeseong industrial park, raising a glimmer of hope to ease the prolonged tension on the Korean Peninsula. In a flurry of exchanges, the two sides concurred that working-level officials meet at the truce village of Panmunjeom to discuss ways to maintain and handle products and facilities and how to normalize the park which has been shut down since April. The planned talks are hoped to breathe life into the frozen ties, but some observers cautioned against pinning excessive expectations on what is only an elementary level of communication. Early in the day, Seoul proposed holding governmental talks in response to the North’s Wednesday announcement that it would allow South Koreans to come and check their production facilities.
