South Korea is to close an industrial complex it operates with North Korea in retaliation for Pyongyang’s rocket launch last weekend, bringing to a sudden halt one of the last symbols of cooperation between the two countries.

Officials in Seoul said the decision to shut down the Kaesong complex was intended to prevent the regime of North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, from using hard currency earned through the venture to fund its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

Transforming the Kaesong Industrial Complex into a globally competitive one is part of the agreement reached between Seoul and Pyongyang to resume its operations on Sept. 16. All work was halted in early April amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean employers at Kaesong complex indignant over North’s prolonged New Year’s break

SEOUL, Jan. 7 (Yonhap) A group of South Korean companies operating at a joint-venture factory park in North Korea has filed a formal complaint that the communist country’s sudden decision to take a longer New Year’s holiday seriously hurt their business, officials said Monday.

Currently, 123 South Korean firms are operating at the joint industrial park in the North’s border city of Kaesong, producing garments and other labor-intensive products. Despite cross-border tension, the park has been running without any restrictions since 2004.
