KIC officials plan to visit shuttered complex within three weeks

Kaesong Industrial Complex directorate hopes to send two individuals per company

KIC, once a symbol of inter-Korean economic cooperation, was temporarily closed by the Park Geun-hye administration 15 months ago as part of Seoul’s response to Pyongyang’s fourth nuclear test in January that year.
