North Korea to Lift Traffic Restrictions at Joint Factory Zone with South Korea

North Korea said Thursday that it will lift restrictions on cross-border traffic that the country imposed last year during tensions with South Korea.

The restrictions were placed on workers and cargo travelling to the joint factory zone at Kaesong in North Korea, according to BBC.

South Korea earlier approved the visit of a delegation from Pyongyang for the funeral of ex-President Kim Dae-jung.

The easing of border restrictions, to begin Friday, means more South Korean citizens and cargo lorries will be allowed to travel to Kaesong, which employs mostly North Korean workers in Southern-owned businesses.

It follows offers from Pyongyang to resume reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 war and to restart tourist visits from the South.
