The South Korean government will likely not be able to deliver a shipment of food aid to North Korea by this month as previously planned, Seoul's Ministry of Unification (MOU) said on Friday.
The news means Seoul may miss a deadline set by unification minister Kim Yeon-chul in mid-June, when he announced plans to send 50,000 metric tons of rice to the DPRK via the World Food Programme (WFP) “without delay" and by the end of September.
