- 5 years ago
South Korea and the U.S. seem to have cleared the possible hurdles to next week's groundbreaking ceremony for the inter-Korean project to connect railways and roads.
Speaking to reporters right after the 2nd Seoul-Washington working group in Seoul on Friday, South Korea's nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon said the two sides discussed how to proceed with the groundbreaking ceremony as planned next Wednesday.
The actual construction will only begin in line with progress in Pyeongyang's denuclearization and after waivers are secured on international sanctions,... but confirmation was needed that the items brought to the North for the ceremony weren't in violation of any sanctions.
The two Koreas' joint recovery of war remains in the DMZ next year, as well as the issue of providing North Koreans with antiviral medication also seem to have been discussed and agreed by the two sides.
