7. KEDO Nuclear Project Update
Yanhap News, ("KEDO TO SIGN MOU WITH N. KOREA ON SUSPENDED NUCLEAR PROJECT," SEOUL, 3/19/04) reported that North Korea and a U.S-led international consortium responsible for building two nuclear power plants in the North are to sign a memorandum of understanding on immigration control procedures at a construction site in the North, South Korean officials said. The accord mandates, among other things, officials of the U.S.-led Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO) to inform North Korea of their visit five days before their trips to the site in the Kumho area on the North's northeastern coast. "The memorandum of understanding deals with immigration control and other overall procedures," Lee Joon-jae, a special adviser to KEDO's executive board chairman Chang Sun-sup, said. Both sides will sign the MOU and exchange documents, South Korean officials said.
