First foreign buyer leaves for North Korean industrial complex


SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A German buyer headed Friday to the North Korean industrial complex at Kaesong, becoming the first non-Korean to be allowed to travel to the experimental site joining South Korean know-how with cheap Northern land and labour. 

Petra Beate Krannich-Oehame traveled overland across the heavily fortified frontier dividing the peninsula and is expected to tour a facility belonging to LivingArt, a South Korean kitchenware manufacturer that operates one of four factories in the complex in the border village.
