SEOUL - North Korea said on Friday that it had sent South Korea an “ultimatum” on Monday about North Korea’s Mt Kumgang tourist resort, saying that it will unilaterally remove South Korea’s facilities there if Seoul insists on talks about the issue.
North Korea had said they wanted to discuss the removal “by writing”, not by talks, but South Korea, while proposing talks, said they will seek a “creative solution” and make the protection of South Korean assets a priority. Mt Kumgang is on North Korea’s eastern coast, just beyond the demilitarized zone separating the two countries. It was one of two major inter-Korean economic projects, along with the Kaesong industrial zone, and an important token of rapprochement during decades of hostilities following the 1950-53 Korean War.
