DPRK media on Monday denounced the South Korean government for taking an “indecisive attitude” towards the planned resumption of inter-Korean cooperation at the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) and Mount Kumgang.

The North Korean online outlet the Uriminzokkiri accused Seoul of “evading responsibility” on the issue of resuming inter-Korean economic projects by seeking U.S. approval for the plans.

Seoul has suggested the reopening of the KIC and the Mountain Kumgang tourism can only take place after “persuading the U.S.,” the outlet said, and by insisting that it will seek an exemption from international sanctions before the projects go ahead.
