DPRK delegates at inter-Korean aviation talks on Friday proposed connecting international air routes over the east and west coast of the peninsula, the ROK Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) announced.

“The North Korean side proposed connecting international air routes over the east and west coast between the two Koreas,” the MOLIT said in a statement following the first-ever working-level talks on aviation cooperation between the two sides.

The talks took place at the joint liaison office located at the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC).

“In return, our side made a suggestion to continue discussions through talks between aviation authorities,”
