Nuclear test

Article Abstract:

The North Korean and South Koreans are cooperating in the development of nuclear reactors to be built near the North Korean port of Sinpo. The project is the result of the 1994 accord between North Korea and the US. North Korea agreed to discontinue its nuclear energy and nuclear weapon building programmes in return for South Korean finance for two 1,000 megawatt lightwater reactors. South Koreans hope that the project represents a reconciliation as well as an aspect of their national security, but North Korea continues to act in ways which make reconciliation difficult.

Dangerous deadlock

Article Abstract:

The stalemate between N Korea and S Korea holds a variety of economic agreements in limbo but unofficial trade continues to grow, especially the North's imports. Pyongyang wants to freeze Seoul out of its negotiations with the US, and refuses to accept S Korean nuclear reactors as part of the agreement for dismantling its current reactors. The resulting freeze has limited the South to increasing its imports from the North by only 1% in 1994 over 1993. The South is anxious to improve the North's development.

Southern comfort

Article Abstract:

An increasing number of North Koreans residing abroad have defected to South Korea after the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Information about South Korea coming from newly-opened South Korean embassies in the former communist states of Eastern Europe attracted dozens of North Koreans into defecting to the South. Some South Koreans who defected to the North have also gone back to South Korea. The defectors are encountering problems in adjusting to their new life in South Korea.
