Koreas to open first joint office
Gaeseong to host trade cooperation channel
The governments of South and North Korea will open their first-ever joint office for economic cooperation in the North's border town of Gaeseong today, the Ministry of Unification said yesterday. The office will operate as an inter-governmental channel supporting bilateral trade and investment, Vice Unification Minister Rhee Bong-jo said in a news briefing.
"It is the first (South Korean) government office to be stationed in the North since the division (of the Korean Peninsula)," Rhee said. "The office will be an institution to improve South-North economic cooperation in both quality and quantity."
