South Korean companies conducting business at the Gaeseong Industrial Complex in North Korea will hold a contingency meeting Wednesday to discuss countermeasures to Seoul’s partial ban on travel to Gaeseong.

In the meeting, representatives of the companies will discuss how to cope with problems in production that have resulted from the travel restriction.

The government has, in principle, banned South Koreans from entering Gaeseong following the North’s artillery attack on the South’s Yeonpyeong Island on November 23rd. Seoul has only allowed South Koreans to visit for shift changes and to transport minimal levels of goods to and from the firms operating there.

Following the attack, the number of South Korean employees staying at Gaeseong has halved from 800 to 400. The amount of goods and products transported to and from Gaeseong has also dwindled to a third of the levels posted prior to the ban.
