SOUTH KOREA OFFERS SOUTH KOREA OFFERS MILITARY TALKS WITH NORTHMILITARY TALKS WITH NORTH

A SHENZHEN fi rm specializing in operating new-energy rental cars announced that it will put over 10,000 new-energy shared vehicles into use in Shenzhen within the year, the Shenzhen Economic Daily reported yes-terday.

During a press conference, Bao-gang Energy Technology Co. Ltd. said its shared cars are affordable, compact and lightweight.

The company is also planning to launch 60,000 new-energy cars in nearly 20 cities in China by 2018 and hopes that the number will ultimately reach 120,000 by 2019.

Since 2016, the market for new-energy cars in China has rapidly developed. Both central and local governments have paid a lot of attention to supporting the growth of this emerging industry. Meanwhile, the shared car market has been favored by many inves-tors.

SOUTH KOREA yesterday offered military and Red Cross talks with North Korea to ease military tensions along the inter-Korean border and resume humanitarian exchange between peoples of the two sides.

Vice Defense Minister Suh Choo-suk said in a statement that South Korea proposed holding military talks with the North on Friday at Tongilgak, a building in the North side of the truce village of Panmun-jom.

The dialogue was aimed at stopping all hostile acts that escalate military tensions near the military demarcation line (MDL) dividing the two Koreas, the vice minister said.

Suh called on Pyongyang to restore the military commu-nications line in the western region to send a reply to South

Korea’s dialogue overture, expressing anticipation of the North’s positive response.

The dialogue overture was a follow-up measure to South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s peace initiative, declared in Berlin on July 6, to stop all hostile acts along the inter-Korean border on the date of July 27 that marks the 64th anniversary of the cease-fi re agreement ending the 1950-1953 Korean War.

In his Berlin speech, Moon also proposed holding Red Cross talks with the North for the reunion of separated fami-lies of the two Koreas on Oct. 4 that marks the 10th anniver-sary of the Oct. 4 joint declara-tion and also the traditional Chuseok holiday.

The Oct. 4 declaration was the outcome of the inter-Korean summit that was held

in Pyongyang in 2007 between late South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, father of the current leader Kim Jong Un.

As another follow-up measure to Moon’s initiative, the South Korean Red Cross proposed to its North counterpart holding humanitarian talks Aug. 1 at the Peace House, a building on the South Korean side of Panmunjom.

The dialogue was designed to hold a reunion event of families, who have been separated since the 1950-1953 Korean War ended in armistice, on the occa-sion of the Chuseok holiday in early October.

The latest inter-Korean con-tact was the vice ministerial-level talks that were held in December 2015. Since then, no dialogue has been held as North

Korea conducted its fourth and fi fth nuclear tests in January and September last year and carried out a number of ballistic missile test-launches.

The last inter-Korean military contact was the closed-door meeting in October 2014.

All of inter-Korean commu-nication channels were cut off following the shutdown in Feb-ruary last year of the Kaesong Industrial Complex.

Whether Pyongyang would accept Seoul’s dialogue offer remained uncertain ahead of the joint annual war game between South Korea and the United States, codenamed Ulchi Freedom Guardian.

The computer-assisted simulation exercise has been denounced by North Korea as a dress rehearsal for the north-ward invasion.
