Experimental overland excursion and tour of Mt. Kumgang to start
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korean Asia-Pacific Peace Committee released a statement on January 31. The statement says:The recent adoption and effectuation of the interim agreement between the inter-Korean military authorities on providing a military guarantee for the passage through the temporary road opened to traffic the military demarcation line, which has been a symbol of division and confrontation for more than half a century, and the historic cause of reconnecting the divided territory has reached the phase of accomplishment.
This has made it possible to promote inter-Korean cooperation, including the tour of Mt. Kumgang and the construction of Kaesong Industrial Zone, in full swing.
This is ascribable to the joint strenuous efforts of the committee and Hyundai Asan.
We would like to organize an experimental excursion and tour of Mt. Kumgang from Feb. 4 to 14 and suggest that president Jong Mong Hon and managing director Kim Yun Gu of Hyundai Asan who are responsible for the tour and the construction of the industrial zone kindly lead those who will pass through the road.
It is the consistent stand of the committee to steadily promote inter-Korean cooperation in the spirit of the June 15 Inter-Korean Joint Declaration.
