Seoul says any potential resumption of Gaeseong Industrial Complex operations will be pursued in a way that does not conflict with international sanctions on North Korea. 

Unification Ministry’s deputy spokesperson Lee Yoo-jin was responding to Washington’s reaffirmed support of the 2016 decision to shut down the industrial park in the North. 

Lee said the ministry hopes the inter-Korean industrial project will resume as soon as possible, but still believes it is important to resolve the issue within the framework of sanctions.
