SEOUL: Seoul began a unilateral effort to excavate Korean War remains along the border on Monday as silence from Pyongyang stymied a previously agreed joint operation with the North.
But progress on the key issue of the North's nuclear weapons has since stalled, with Kim's Hanoi summit with US President Donald Trump breaking up in February without agreement, raising doubts over the future of inter-Korean projects. "We are making preparations so that it can be immediately shifted to a South-North joint excavation once North Korea responds," Roh Jae-cheon, the ministry's deputy spokesman, told reporters.Moon - who met Kim three times last year - has long backed a policy of engagement with nuclear-armed, sanctions-hit Pyongyang and was instrumental in brokering talks between the US and North Korea.
