After weeks of fruitless negotiations, North and South Korea have agreed to hold one more round of talks next week in a last-ditch effort to reopen the jointly run Kaesong Industrial Complex on their border.
The agreement came on Wednesday after the North, breaking nine days of silence, consented to the South’s standing offer for “final talks” on the complex. Pyongyang proposed talks be held Aug. 14. The South accepted almost immediately.
