SEOUL -- North and South Korea on Wednesday took a step toward reconnecting roads and railways across their divided peninsula, though international sanctions against Pyongyang still stand in the way.
Aiming to maintain the recent mood of reconciliation, the neighbors held a groundbreaking ceremony at Panmun Station in the northern border city of Kaesong. About 200 officials from both sides attended, including South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon and Ri Son Gwon, the chairman of North Korea's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland.
