SEOUL, June 19 (Yonhap) -- North Korea agreed to meet again and even offered a small olive branch to South Korea in Friday's talks over a joint industrial park, a gesture suggesting it intends to keep the cash cow amid sharpened international sanctions, watchers said.

Pyongyang's growing confrontation with the outside world raised fears it would try to shut down the business park as a form of retaliation, but there was more to consider, they said.
