|
|
北韓和南韓為擴大彼此之間的聯繫達成了更多的協議。
兩國總理在南韓首都首爾舉行了三天會談。他們今天(星期五)在結束會談時同意在12月11號開通跨越邊界的定期火車運輸。這將是半個多世紀來兩國之間首次開通這樣的火車運輸。
火車將通過重兵把守的邊界線，把北韓的開城工業區與南韓的工業基地聯接起來。
兩國總理還同意明年著手建立一個海上聯合捕魚區，並由南韓在北韓修建造船場、公路和鐵路。 南韓統一部部長李在禎稱讚兩國達成的這些協議將有助於北韓半島的和平與繁榮。 |

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. |

Local reports from Bangladesh say more than 500 people were killed by the powerful cyclone that struck the country's southern coast late Thursday.
Officials say scores of people are still missing and the death toll may rise.
Weather forecasters say the storm has weakened to a tropical depression as it moved toward northern Bangladesh. India's eastern coast escaped the storm. Officials there say several areas were hit by heavy rain but report little damage. |
