SEOUL — North Korea blocked observers including members of the Presidential committee, which Pyongyang condemned for seeking unification by regime change, from observing its healthcare facilities Kaesong Industrial Complex on March 25.

The group of healthcare experts visited the part of the complex over which South Korea has jurisdiction, and were accompanied by four members of the Presidential Committee for Unification Preparation (PCUP).

Though North Korean authorities had allowed the group to visit the complex at first, it notified its Southern counterpart that it cancelled the group’s visit to North’s medical centers and nurseries about an hour before the visit.
