The Ministry of Unification (MoU) reiterated that hard currency earned from the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) is used for developing nuclear weapon and long-range missiles on Friday at a press briefing.

Minister of Unification Hong Yong-pyo told journalists that the government has the relevant materials to back up the concerns that the money, including wages, going into the KIC is used for weapons of mass destruction.

“Despite the concerns, (the South Korean government) tried to maintain the KIC, explaining its meaning in inter-Korean relations to  international society. North Korea’s continuous provocations in recent days, however, are creating instability for our citizens,”
