S. Korea keeps expense cap on N. Korea visits

  
SEOUL, Oct. 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korea said Wednesday it will keep the cap on expenses that its citizens can spend during their visits to the North either for family reunions or tourism.

Under a guideline renewed on Tuesday, South Korean citizens visiting the North to meet family members there cannot spend more than US$1,000. Payments cannot be made through credit or debit cards, either, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said.
