South Koreans welcomed back at Kaesong Industrial complex

Resumption of operations comes after shutdown five months ago

Approximately 820 South Korean workers headed north to the Kaesong Industrial Complex Monday, returning to work for the first time since the joint-plant was shutdown five months ago.

In addition to the arrival of the South Korean workers, some 32,000 North Korean workers – around two thirds of the total workforce – also returned to the complex Monday, as requested by the South Korean side.
