Inter-Korean office in Kaesong not part of plan to reopen KIC: unification minister

Cho Myoung-gyon says it is "a relief" to be holding talks with Kim Jong Un

A soon-to-open inter-Korean joint liaison office in Kaesong is not linked to any plans for the reopening of the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC), South Korea's unification minister said on Tuesday.

In an interview with local broadcaster SBS, Minister of Unification Cho Myoung-gyon said the KIC was one of several potential candidate locations for the "joint liaison office with resident representatives of both sides" agreed on by the two Koreas at last week's summit.
