Chapter 469
The business leaders' meeting proceeded in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Everyone had lively expressions, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
“This inter-Korean economic cooperation will bring tremendous opportunities for South Korean companies.”
Even without the President saying it, any businessperson could sense the opportunity to make money. The reason they hadn't been able to easily access North Korea until now was because they were tied up in various sanctions and the risks were too great.
But the prevailing thought was that this time was different.
The economy is like a living organism; once it starts, it tends to roll on its own.
Even during the nuclear tests, the Kaesong Industrial Complex did not stop and continued to operate. It was South Korea that actually shut it down.
Ukraine, too, despite being at war with Russia, cannot touch the Russian gas pipelines that run through its territory.
Once the gas pipeline and railway are completed, they will continue to be utilized in the future, regardless of the relationship with North Korea.
