North Korea on Wednesday has blocked access to South Korean workers at the Kaesong industrial park, located in North Korean territory, but is operated jointly by the two countries. The move comes a day after that will ensure re-launch all its nuclear facilities, including the reactor core and Yongbyon uranium enrichment plant, which are potential sources of supply of plutonium and uranium its atomic weapons program.
The South Korean Unification Ministry says North Korea has informed the cancellation of movements to Kaesong, but has allowed the return of the 861 citizens of the South who are at the plant, located about 10 kilometers north of the common boundary . He says North Korean officials have cited as a reason the recent political situation on the Korean peninsula.
Some 480 people were scheduled to have traveled Wednesday to Kaesong, where 53,000 North Koreans work at 123 South Korean companies. Any action affecting industrial park of great importance, since it was created in 2004 as a symbol of cooperation between the two countries and is key to the North. Pyongyang has attempted whenever crises and escalation of tension that periodically lives in the region not apply, since it represents a vital source of foreign exchange for its fragile economy. The area produced goods worth 450 million dollars (350 million euros) last year.
Kim Hyung-suk, a spokesman for the Unification Ministry, North Korea has called the decision "very unfortunate" and called the movements are standardized "immediately". Seoul says it has not been communicated how long the ban will remain in transit, but added that, for now, factories are operating normally. The North cut last week 'red line' of military communication with Seoul, which allows workers to South across the border to work in Kaesong. Since then, the authorizations to circulate goods and employees were being given orally through intermediaries.
The South's defense minister, Kim Kwan-jin, said it is exploring all possible options to ensure the safety of South Koreans who are in Kaesong, including military actions in the worst case, South news agency Yonhap .
Pyongyang last week threatened to paralyze all activity at the plant, after the information published by the South Korean press indicated that, despite the crisis, the North was keeping it open because it was a major source of foreign exchange for their poor economy. The last time that happened was closed was in March 2009, to protest joint maneuvers in Seoul and Washington. Some 80 South Koreans were stranded in Kaesong for a day. Transboundary movements were resumed after negotiations between the two sides, but the 'red line' communication remained out of service for a week. It was not reconnected until completed military exercises.
The action again now follows weeks of escalating rhetoric and threats by the regime of Kim Jong-un, has reacted angrily to the sanctions imposed by the UN after rocket launch last December and test a nuclear bomb in February. The North also is furious at the annual joint military maneuvers being carried out the United States and South Korea in the area, in which Washington has made a show of force than in previous years, with the deployment of nuclear-capable bombers B-52 and B-2, the latter stealth fighter aircraft F-22, also able to pass undetected by radar, and two destroyers that can intercept missiles, one facing the Korean peninsula and another in the western Pacific.
China meets with all
A Chinese diplomat has held meetings with the ambassadors of the United States and the two Koreas to express "grave concern" about the situation on the Korean peninsula, as declared by the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.China hopes that Pyongyang and Seoul to resolve their differences through dialogue, according to the media said Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei.Beijing, a traditional ally of the North Korean regime, reacted tepidly to the North's decision to reactivate all its nuclear facilities and just regret it. When Pyongyang last Saturday declared a "state of war" with the South, Beijing's reaction was not strong. "We hope that the parties work together to turn around this tense situation," said Hong Lei then.
