정부, 내일 소나무재선충병 방제 약제 50톤 북한 개성지역에 전달
South Korea will deliver 50 tons of pest control chemicals to North Korea's border town of Gaeseong tomorrow via the land route.
Heading North will be 15 people including forestry experts and officials from the South's Forest Service.
They'll deliver the items in the morning... and, in the afternoon, look around the nearby pine forest and with officials from Pyeongyang, discuss ways to work together.
Seoul says the chemicals to be sent tomorrow are not restricted by the UN sanctions... and the delivery is to prevent forest damage from spreading.
Back in August, South Korea sent officials to the North's Mount Geumgangsan for a joint check on local forests.
