Korea talks

News in Brief by PN staff

Although the US may have been racheting up international tensions over North Korea in recent months, this has not stopped representatives from both North and South Korea getting together to chat about economics. In early November representatives from both countries met in Pyongyang for four days of talks.

In October North Korea made a “nuclear confession”: that it has been enriching uranium to support a nuclear weapons program. But the government in the south maintains that continuing dialogue with the north offers the best hope for peace. Both countries also continue to clear the demilitarised zone of landmines.
