North and South Korea have reached more agreements on expanding links between the two countries.
The two countries' prime ministers agreed today (Friday) in Seoul at the end of a three-day meeting that regular train service for freight will begin December 11th for the first time in more than half a century.
The trains will cross the heavily armed border that divides the Korean peninsula and link up the North's Kaesong industrial complex with industries in the South.
They also agreed to move next year to establish a joint fishing zone and for the South to build shipyards and repair a major highway and railroad in the North.
South Korea's Unification Minister Lee Jae-joung praised the agreements for their contribution to peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula.
北韩和韩国为扩大彼此之间的联系达成了更多的协议。
两国总理在韩国首都首尔举行了三天会谈。他们今天(星期五)在结束会谈时同意在12月11号开通跨越边界的定期火车运输。这将是半个多世纪来两国之间首次开通这样的火车运输。
火车将通过重兵把守的边界线，把北韩的开城工业区与韩国的工业基地联接起来。
两国总理还同意明年着手建立一个海上联合捕鱼区，并由韩国在北韩修建造船场、公路和铁路。
韩国统一部部长李在祯称赞两国达成的这些协议将有助于朝鲜半岛的和平与繁荣。
