SOUTH Korea is seeking to link its railroad to North Korea with the rest of the continent as part of a plan for the potential unification of the peninsula.
The South's Unification Ministry called on the North to discuss the extension into China of the 27-kilometer (17-mile) track that spans the border, it said in an e-mailed statement on Monday. Separately, the unification, foreign and defence ministries presented President Park Geun Hye with a plan to enact a law to increase the number of civil servants trained to prepare for an eventual joining of the nations.
