(30 Oct 2013) South Korean lawmakers returned to South Korea on Wednesday after visiting the joint operated Kaesong industrial park in North Korea. • In a news conference held at the South Korean border control area in Paju, Ahn Hong-joon, Chairman of South Korea's National Assembly of Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee, said he hoped the progressive normalisation of the Kaesong industrial complex can be pursued smoothly. • Earlier, the lawmakers toured the Kaesong industrial complex and spoke with South Korean managers about the situation there. • The Kaesong park is the last remaining inter-Korean project. • It reopened last month after Pyongyang withdrew its workers amid high tension over Pyongyang's repeated threats of nuclear war. • Pyongyang abruptly cancelled planned reunions last month of families separated by war. • Analysts say Pyongyang's approval of the lawmakers' visit shows its desire to develop the park and resume other stalled lucrative cross-border cooperation projects. • North Korea last week repatriated six South Korean men accused of illegal entry in a rare action seen as an effort to improve frayed ties with South Korea. • The Korean Peninsula officially remains at state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
