Today, 15 officials from the South Korean private firm Hyundai Asan are visiting North Korea's Mount Kumgang... where they used to run tours for South Koreans.<br /> They're going to pay tribute to the firm's late former chairman, Chung Mong-hun, who's recognized by the North as a figure who stood at the forefront of inter-Korean economic cooperation.<br />Hyundai Asan spearheaded both the tours to Mount Kumgang and the inter-Korean Kaesong Industrial Complex... until both of those projects, in their turn, broke down.<br />Pyongyang's been complaining about Seoul enforcing international sanctions on it... and has urged Seoul to resume the tours and the factory park.<br />A key question is whether that will be brought up by the North with the officials from Hyundai. <br />
