N. Korea accepts S. Korea's corn aid offer

SEOUL, Jan. 15 (Yonhap) -- North Korea told South Korea on Friday that it will
accept the 10,000 tons of corn aid that South Korea offered in October, Seoul's
Unification Ministry said.

North Korea sent a fax message to the South, saying it "will receive the corn
aid," said ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo.
Lee said it will take "at least a month" for Seoul to purchase corn from China
and elsewhere and deliver it to North Korea.
