Seoul, Pyongyang Initial Four Trade Agreements

South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have initialed four agreements on prevention of double taxation, trade settlement, investment guarantee and dispute settlement.

The agreements were drafted at the second-round inter-Korean working-level talks, which began Wednesday and ended Saturday morning in Pyongyang, according to the Unification Ministry of South Korea.

The initialed agreements, which are to be signed soon at the forthcoming high-ranking talks, are seen to have paved the way for direct inter-Korean trade and remittance without going through a third country.
