N. Korea says Seoul unwilling to resume mountain tour program

SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Yonhap) -- North Korea slammed Seoul again Wednesday for apparently showing little intent to resume a mountain tour program in the North, a much-needed source of dollars that was shut down last year after a tourist was shot dead by a soldier for unclear reasons.

North Korea has been nudging the South to reopen cross-border tours to its Mount Kumgang resort. Seoul suspended the program after a tourist was shot and killed in July last year after wandering into a restricted military zone.
