Koreas discuss Seoul workers' rights, communications in Kaesong

SEOUL, Sept. 13 (Yonhap) -- South and North Korea kicked off negotiations Friday on ironing out deals to better protect South Korean workers and updating communications at their joint factory park in the communist country.

Working-level panel discussions will touch on issues that were not covered by agreement earlier this week to reopen on coming Monday the Kaesong Industrial Complex, effectively ending the standoff over the inter-Korean factory zone.
