South Korea's vice finance and economy minister Yoon Jin-Shik (R) shakes hands with North Korea's first vice-chairman of the State Planning Commission Pak Chang-ryon at a hotel in Seoul on August 27, 2002. North Korean economic experts arrived in Seoul on Tuesday for their first detailed talks in two years with the South over how to reconnect a railway and road through the world's last Cold War frontier. The experts begin talks on Wednesday, a follow-up meeting agreed when the two Koreas held ministerial-level talks earlier this month as part of a flurry of diplomatic activity involving the North as it embarks on tentative economic reforms.
