Dec. 26 (Asia Today) -- South Korea's Unification Ministry said Friday it will move ahead next week with administrative steps to make North Korea's state newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, publicly accessible.
The ministry said a consultative meeting of supervisory agencies held Friday confirmed a consensus to reclassify Rodong Sinmun from "special materials" to "general materials," clearing the way for broader public access.
Participants in the meeting included the Ministry of Unification, the National Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Communications Commission.
Following completion of required administrative procedures, including the issuance of official notices to supervisory and handling agencies, the ministry said the reclassification will take effect next week.
