Kaesong complex to be “more vigorously operated”: North Korean state media

Report released to refute claims of secret garment factories operating at KIC

North Korean state-run outlets Uriminzokkiri and Arirang-Meari claimed on Friday that the factories in the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) will be "more vigorously operated" in the future.

The editorials come in response to a Radio Free Asia (RFA) report on Monday claiming that Pyongyang has been running secret garment factories at the formerly inter-Korean industrial zone.
