THE Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will stop the inter-Korean tourist project in DPRK's border city of Kaesong from Dec. 1, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported today.

The DPRK side will also expel part of South Korean personnel and vehicles from DPRK's Mt. Geumgang and Kaesong inter-Korean industrial complex, Yonhap quoted a statement by DPRK's military as saying.

The cross-border cargo train service will also be suspended from Dec. 1 in protest of South Korea's tough policy towards DPRK,it said.

Earlier this month, the DPRK announced the closure of its Red Cross mission and direct phone links at the truce village of Panmunjom.
