This just goes to show how much the North Koreans do not want South Korea to join the PSI, they have actually agreed to a bi-lateral meeting and have sent out their fifth column to protest:

South Korea on Sunday accepted North Korea’s proposal for talks on a troubled joint industrial complex, setting up the first official dialogue between the two countries in a year amid tensions over the North’s recent rocket launch.

Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo said officials of the two Koreas would meet in the border town of Kaesong on Tuesday to discuss the factory complex.

The industrial zone on the northern side of the border is the last major joint project between the rival Koreas and a key source of foreign currency for the impoverished North’s communist regime.

Ties between the Koreas have been strained since conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office in Seoul last year with a tougher line on the North. North Korea responded by cutting off ties.

In recent months the North has restricted access to the industrial complex by tightening border controls, raising concerns among participating South Korean companies about the project’s viability.

The meeting comes amid rising tensions over the North’s rocket launch and its weekslong detention of a South Korean man in Kaesong accused of denouncing the North’s political system.  [AP]
