S. Korea mulling huge rescue funds for troubled inter-Korean trade firms
By Sam Kim
SEOUL, June 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is considering providing about 100 billion won (US$84 million) of rescue funds to hundreds of its companies hamstrung by a ban on cross-border trade with North Korea, a senior government official said Wednesday.
The ban has been in effect since a month ago after South Korea concluded from a multinational investigation that North Korea was to blame for the deadly March 26 sinking of its Cheonan warship.
