Bottled water arrives in Busan via shipping route through N.Korea

Shipment marks first arrival in South Korean port through North Korea since May 24 Measures started

Containers filled with bottled water arrived Monday at port of Busan via the port of Rajin in North Korea as part of the third trial run of the Rajin-Khasan logistics project between the two Koreas and Russia, the Ministry of Unification (MoU) confirmed.

The shipment was originally scheduled to arrive at Busan on November 22, but was delayed for about two weeks due to heavy snow and deteriorating weather in Rason.
