Production at Koreas' industrial complex sets monthly record

SEOUL (Yonhap) - South Korean factories in an industrial complex in North Korea produced goods worth US$34.7 million in March, setting a monthly output record since the two Koreas launched the zone in 2004, Seoul's Unification Ministry said Wednesday.
The complex, a key symbol of rapprochement between the two Koreas, combines the South's technology and management expertise with the North's cheap labor.
More than 46,000 North Koreans work for about 120 South Korean firms operating in the North Korean border city of Kaesong to produce clothes, utensils, watches and other low-tech goods.
The two divided Koreas managed to maintain the zone despite a chill in their relations over the North's two deadly attacks on the South last year that killed 50 South Koreans.
