Approximately 820 South Korean workers headed north to the Kaesong Industrial Complex Monday, returning to work for the first time since the joint-plant was shutdown five months ago.
In addition to the arrival of the South Korean workers, some 32,000 North Korean workers – around two thirds of the total workforce – also returned to the complex Monday, as requested by the South Korean side.

SEOUL — North and South Korea have reopened their joint factory zone in Kaesong, just north of their shared border. The restart is seen as the most substantial sign of warming relations between the two sides following tensions earlier this year over Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear tests.
Lines of trucks and cars crossed South Korea’s northern border checkpoint Monday morning on the way to Kaesong, North Korea.
