Shifting focus to inter-Korean relations…<br />Today,… the two sides are sitting down for yet another round of talks on connecting and modernizing roads between Seoul and Pyongyang. <br />For more, we connect to our Oh Jung-hee who is on the line for us.<br />Jung-hee tell us more.<br /><br /> Semin, we're expecting the talks to have just started.<br />Today's meeting was scheduled to begin a few minutes ago at 10AM Korea time,... at the Tongil-gak building, located on the North Korean side of the border village of Panmunjom.<br /> South Korea has sent a three-member delegation led by Vice Minister for Transport, Kim Jeong-ryeol .<br />And North Korea also has a three-member delegation, led by its vice minister for environmental protection, Pak Ho-yong .<br />The South Korean delegation left for the talks early this morning,... have a listen at what they had to say:<br /><br /> "We'll sincerely take part in today's talks for connecting and modernizing roads. I believe there will be discussions on linking South Korea's Munsan with North Korea's Kaesong -- something we originally agreed upon ten years ago."<br /><br /> The two Koreas worked on building a highway between Munsan and Kaesong in 2015, but it came to a halt after North Korea's fourth nuclear test in early 2016.<br />If Munsan and Kaesong are linked,... then the capitals, Seoul and Pyongyang, will be connected by highway.<br /><br /> But, just like Tuesday's talks on railways, it's difficult to expect any specific plans, because bringing South Korea's resources and equipment into North Korea for these projects could violate international sanctions.<br /> So it's expected that the two sides will first agree on forming a joint investigation team and checking the status of roads in North Korea.<br />Semin. <br />
