Seoul and Pyongyang on Friday began operation of a joint liaison office at the DPRK's now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC).
At an opening ceremony, ROK Minister of Unification Cho Myoung-gyon said the liaison office, which will house resident representatives from Seoul and Pyongyang, would serve as a “cradle for the co-prosperity” of the two Koreas.
