Geumgang tours to be dealt separately We begin with the South Korean government's careful consideration of the North's offer for talks on their suspended Mount Geumgang tourism project. Stating the tourism issue should be not linked to the resumption of family reunions, Seoul on Monday told Pyongyang it needs more time before answering the proposal. Hwang Sung-hee has the details. South Korea said Monday that talks on resuming reunions for separated families and on reopening the Mount Geumgang resort to South Korean tourists will be dealt with as two separate issues. "The South Korean government will deliver our stance on the issue to the public after a thorough review of the overall situation." On Sunday, North Korea proposed to hold fresh talks this Thursday on resuming South Korean tours to the Mount Geumgang resort, offering to discuss Seoul's concerns like ensuring personal safety and protecting South Korean properties. The resort has been closed to South Koreans since 2008, after a tourist from the South was fatally shot by a North Korean guard. And while the North accepted Seoul's offer for Red Cross talks on resuming reunions for families separated during the Korean War on Friday, the two are engaged in a tug-of-war on the venue of the meeting. Pyongyang has proposed to meet at the Mount Geumgang resort, while Seoul has reiterated that the truce village of Panmunjom is the most ideal location due to the convenience of its location. And as part of efforts to reopen the jointly-run Gaeseong Industrial Complex, North Korea sent on Monday evening its draft proposal for the formation of a joint committee that will oversee the management of the factory zone. Seoul said it will send its own draft proposal sometime this week, after reviewing the document it received from the North. Meanwhile, a South Korean communications and power inspection team made its second trip to Gaeseong on Monday to check up on the facilities at the complex, which have been closed for more than four months now.
