Pres. Office: Unchanged on N. Korea's Demand to Repatriate Restaurant Workers

The presidential office says there is no change in its position on the North's demand to repatriate 12 North Korean workers who defected to South Korea from a Pyongyang-run restaurant in China two years ago. 

However, speaking to reporters on Monday, a senior presidential official said that the top office will give the matter more thought. 

Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said last week that the group came to South Korea of their own free will.
