Features Hyundai division eyes sending tourist ship to North Korea: sourceThe plan is contingent on Seoul-Pyongyang relations and their desire for cross-border projects
Hyundai Group’s division tasked with inter-Korean construction projects is exploring a proposal to dispatch a South Korean tourist vessel to a North Korean resort, if the two nations restart diplomatic relations and agree to resume cross-border projects, according to a source familiar with the plans. “[Hyundai Asan] is likely to maintain the projects it had previously been handling if economic cooperation with North Korea becomes possible,” the source told NK News on the condition of anonymity, citing ongoing discussions on the matter. One of these plans include acquiring a ship to ferry South Korean tourists to the Wonsan-Kalma Beach, © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
