S. Korea halts canal project research, disbands task force
SEOUL, June 19 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Transportation Ministry said Thursday work commissioned to verify the feasibility of constructing a controversial cross-country canal network has been halted,
The move comes right after President Lee Myung-bak said in a press conference that he is willing to give up building the waterway system, which would link the country's major rivers, if the Korean people oppose it.
During the conference, Lee spent much time in assuaging people's concerns over mad cow disease, prompted by his decision in April to resume imports of all U.S. beef.
