The government is looking into asking the South's Gaeseong Industrial District Management Committee and the North's Central Special Zone Development Guidance General Bureau to discuss raising wages at the inter-Korean Gaeseong Industrial Complex.
 
A Ministry of Unification official told reporters Thursday that labor regulations stipulate the two agencies discuss wage issues and the government would review a plan to organize a meeting.
 
The official added that revising the regulations requires consultation between the two Koreas, but cautioned that it would take a long time and support from the North.
 
The government appears set to first resolve the wage issue and deal with revising labor regulations through government consultations at a later time.
