SOME of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) officials yesterday returned to the joint liaison office with South Korea in the DPRK’s border town of Kaesong, Seoul’s unification ministry said.

The ministry said in a statement that a part of the DPRK staff came to the liaison office for shift work as usual early yesterday morning.

Officials from the two sides had a meeting as usual in the morning, according to the ministry.

The liaison office opened last September for communications between the two Koreas.

It came after the DPRK announced its decision Friday to withdraw all of its staff from the liaison office.(Xinhua)
