Hyundai Asan President Cho Kun-shik says tours to the North Korean Mount Geumgang resort will resume soon as Pyongyang continues to have confidence in Hyundai Asan Chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun.

Hyundai Asan is the nation’s main operator of key inter-Korean tourism programs.

Cho made the comments during a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the company's Mount Geumgang tour program.

He told reporters that, although the inter-Korean cooperative projects have been delayed due to external factors, the North’s confidence in the group's chairwoman remains strong.
