S. Korea Sends Relief Goods to N. Korea
2006-10-05
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea shipped promised flood relief aid to North Korea on Wednesday, a day after Pyongyang threatened to conduct a nuclear test. The goods, including 6,400 tons of cement, were shipped to the North Korean port of Nampo, said the Unification Ministry, which handles North Korean affairs.

"As North Korea has yet to conduct a nuclear test, it is difficult to immediately halt sending flood relief aid, which is being provided on a humanitarian basis," a ministry official said on condition of anonymity, citing official policy. "However, we will decide future plans (of shipments) after monitoring the situation," the official said.
Wanna bet Kimmie bangs his spoon on the highchair tray again tomorrow?
Wednesday's shipment was part of emergency assistance that Seoul promised the North after the communist nation was hit by massive floods in July. South Korea has said the one-time aid is separate from the regular humanitarian aid to the North it has halted since missile launches by the North in July.
