SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea plans to lift its decades long ban on public access to North Korean television, newspapers and other publications as part of its efforts to promote mutual understandi
ng between the rivals, officials said Friday, despite animosities over the North's recent missile tests.
Ministry officials said South Korea will start by allowing access to North Korean broadcasts to try to encourage North Korea to take similar steps. The ministry refused to provide further details, saying the plans are still being discussed with relevant authorities in South Korea. Relations between the two Koreas remain strained over North Korea's torrid run of missile tests this year. Yoon, a Conservative, has said he would take a tougher stance on North Korean provocations, though he said he has "an audacious plan" to improve the North's economy if it abandons its nuclear weapons.
