S.Korea shuts down joint factory park with DPRK

South Korea on Wednesday announced plan to shut down a jointly run factory park with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) over Pyongyang's recent nuclear test and long-range rocket launch.

Unification Minister Hong Yong-Pyo told a televised press briefing that Pyongyang hasn't shown any intention to give up its nuclear and missile programs, indicating recent DPRK provocations resulted in Seoul's decision to completely stop operations of the Kaesong Industrial Complex.

Operations at the inter-Korean industrial zone were stopped again in about two and half years after the DPRK's withdrawal of its workers led to the suspension between April 8, 2013 and Sept. 15 of the year.
