ROK government agency to investigate potential for North Korean SEZ development

Korea Land and Housing Corporation seeking contractors for USD$177,257 research project

The Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) previously invested KRW110.3 billion (around USD$97.7 million) into a first-stage research project on now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) and parcelled out the right to use the land to South Korean companies.
