The South Korean government on Friday said it would permit a group of businesspeople to visit the now-shuttered Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) in North Korea, the first visit of its kind since the complex's closure in February 2016.
The decision came at a meeting of the standing committee of South Korea's National Security Council (NSC) presided over by director of South Korea's presidential National Security Office (NSO) Chung Eui-yong -- a meeting which also saw Seoul greenlight $8 million in food aid to the DPRK.
