ARIRANG NEWS 16:00
Good to have you with us. This is Arirang News. It′s 4 p.m. here in Seoul and I′m Laah Hyun-kyung.
Title: S. Korean businessmen hold wage talks for Kaesong complex with N. Korea
We begin with a group of South Korean businessmen crossing the border to talk with North Korean officials about Pyongyang′s recent wage hike at the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
They have wrapped up a two-hour long meeting... and are expected to return soon.
Here′s Arirang′s Hwang Sung-hee has the story.
Departing for the border town on Wednesday morning, the South Korean businessmen said the Kaesong Industrial Complex must be free of political tensions.

"We will explain to the North Korean officials about the problems that can arise from a unilateral revision of regulations in the overall management of the complex and ask for the park to be managed according to previous agreements."
The group′s representative blamed anti-North Korea leaflet launches by South Korean activists for stirring up tensions and halting talks between the Koreas.
He said the upcoming leaflet campaign scheduled for March 26th must be called off.
The representative added that North Korea′s demands a wage hike for their workers from the current 70 U.S. dollars a month to 74 dollars and a revision of regulations are things that could be resolved through dialogue.
The joint business park, which was suspended for five months in 2013 amid heightened tensions, is the last remaining link of inter-Korean economic cooperation.
The businessmen said another shutdown would not be in North Korea′s interest.

"The North Korean government does not want major obstructions to the complex like a complete suspension of operations. These can be resolved through dialogue."

But still, the companies are in a tough spot, as the South Korean government has warned of legal and administrative countermeasures against firms that abide by Pyongyang′s demands.

Title: S. Korea says it will make its own decision on possible deployment of U.S. missile defense system
After China and the U.S. made their stance clear this week about the possible deployment of the THAAD U.S. missile defense system to the Korean peninsula,… South Korea made its stance clear that it′s up to Seoul to decide what′s good for the country′s national security.

Just a day after China voiced concerns over the possible deployment of a THAAD missile defense system in South Korea, the United States said China doesn′t have a say in the matter.
"I find it curious that a third country would presume to make strong representations about a security system that has not been put in place and that is still a matter of theory."
Chinese Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Liu Jianchao told reporters in Seoul on Monday that China hopes South Korea will consider Beijing′s concerns before deploying the U.S.-led missile defense system.
