South Korean President Moon Jae-in is making steady progress toward his goal of achieving “irreversible progress” on inter-Korean relations by the end of 2018
Kim Jong-un’s gift of two hunting dogs to South Korea in September is starting to bear more fruit, first with a litter of puppies and now with a landmark railway deal.
South Korea will send trains across the border to North Korea for the first time in a decade after the UN Security Council granted exemptions from sanctions, Seoul said on Wednesday. The trips will be used for a study to assess what’s needed to connect one other railway that has been separated since the Korean war.
The development shows that South Korean President Moon Jae-in is making steady progress toward his goal of achieving “irreversible progress” on inter-Korean relations by the end of 2018. Earlier this month, his office disclosed pictures of six puppies delivered by one of the North Korean dogs.
“Six were added to the gift of two, which is great luck,” Moon said in a November 12 tweet, soon after he sent 200 tons of tangerines to Pyongyang as a gift.
