N. Korea Demands Steep Wage, Rent Hikes from S. Korea at Joint Venture
SEOUL (Yonhap) -- North Korea demanded a four-fold increase in wages for its workers and a 30-fold raise in rent at a South Korean-run industrial park during talks held at the North's border city of Kaesong on June 11, officials said, casting darker shadows on the future of the last-remaining inter-Korean venture.
However, Pyongyang did leave room for negotiation, Unification Ministry officials said, as the two sides agreed to meet again on June 19.
