The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is launching a task force to boost economic cooperation
in Eurasia... as part of its Eurasian Initiative policy.
The five-person team, under the ministry's Europe division, will review and provide government
support for various public and private business projects,...such as those related to the construction
of railways, roads and pipelines that could eventually run through the two Koreas and
Russia. The Eurasian Initiative was a campaign pledge
of President Park Geun-hye. It aims to increase economic cooperation with
Eurasia to encourage North Korea to open up to the outside world.
The task force is expected to be formed as early as next month.
