Kaesong is the joint industrial project between North and South Korea
North Korea is putting the Kaesong Joint Industrial Complex at risk by using it as a political tool to put pressure on the south.
North Korea is threatening to rebuke the ’special benefits’ that it granted South Korean companies while operating in the North at Kaesong, amid high tensions in the area between North Korea and several neighbours who saw the North’s ’satellite launch’ as a threatening missile test.
A special meeting was called by North Korea with the South and 12 hours after the South’s delegation arrived in the North, the meeting was over in 22 minutes. The North said it had a ’special announcement’ to make to the South. The two sides exchanged documents detailing their current standing positions on various topics.
Meanwhile, the South demanded that North Korea release one of their citizens who was arrested while working at Kaesong. Apparently, this person spoke negatively about North Korea’s political system.
