South and North Korea ended talks Wednesday on the resumption of the Gaeseong Industrial Complex without reaching a written agreement. 

A Unification Ministry official said the full session in the North Korean city of Gaeseong lasted for four minutes from 5:40 p.m. The second round of talks was held in the North as the two sides discussed restarting the suspended industrial park. 

South Korea demanded that North Korea address its stance on the issue of preventing another shutdown of the inter-Korean factory park. Seoul also stressed that the two Koreas should develop the inter-Korean venture into an international project for its stable growth.
 
North Korea, on the other hand, tried to place a different emphasis on the issue, urging South Korea to stop all activities that hinder the normalization of the industrial park. While specifically citing the June 15 Joint Declaration as a guideline to that end, the North also called for the swift resumption of operations at Gaeseong.

The first inter-Korean governmental talks on Gaeseong Park issues were held in Panmunjeom on July 6th. A third round of talks will be held in Gaeseong on July 15th.

Meanwhile, the business officials who went to Gaeseong with the Seoul government delegation on Wednesday said the North Korean complex managers welcomed them warmly and told them the North Korean workers are waiting for the park to reopen.
