DPRK Proposes Talks on Inter-Korean Fishery Cooperation

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has proposed to hold urgent talks on fishery cooperation with South Korea, a spokesman for the Ministry of Fisheries said Saturday.

At the fourth round of the inter-Korean ministerial talks held in Pyongyang at the end of 2000, the spokesman said, the DPRK hoped that it would offer part of its fishing ground in the East Sea of Korea to the south side.

At the 2001 Meeting for the Independent Reunification of the Korean Nation in Pyongyang on January 10, the DPRK urged the south side to accept the offer as soon as possible for the benefit of the fishermen in the south.

The spokesman said that cooperation between the DPRK and South Korea in fishery should be realized without delay as it would greatly help rationalize the use of marine resources, which will not only make great contributions to the common prosperity of the whole Korean nation, but also improve the living standards of South Korean fishermen.

The DPRK has proposed cooperation in fishery between the two sides many times since the early 1970s, but South Korea has not yet given a positive response.
