U.S. agrees to let S. Korea to send 200,000 doses of Tamiflu to N. Korea
- 5 years ago
South Korea will deliver 200-thousand doses of Tamiflu anti-viral medication to North Korea early next week.
The shipment was agreed upon on Thursday during an hour long video-conference between Seoul and Washington's working group on North Korea.
Senior officials familiar with the matter say Seoul will work with Pyeongyang this week on the logistics of the delivery.
They also discussed developments on the planned video reunions of war-torn families, the joint recovery of war remains and road inspections in North Korea.
It's thought the allies touched upon South Korean businessmen looking to visit the long-shuttered inter-Korean Gaeseong Industrial Complex to check their assets.
But the issue wasn't discussed at length as the U.S. considered it inappropriate to discuss over video-conference.
