Yonhap News Summary
Yonhap News Summary
The following is the second summary of major stories moved by Yonhap News Agency
on Monday.
-------
(LEAD) Opposition parties pledge to resist revision of Sejong City
SEOUL -- Opposition parties on Monday vowed to fight the Lee Myung-bak
government's decision to turn a new city being built in central South Korea into
a business-science hub, rather than the administrative center that was envisioned
by his predecessor.
In 2005, then President Roh Moo-hyun decided to relocate nine ministries and four
state agencies to Sejong City in South Chungcheong Province, some 150 kilometers
south of Seoul, beginning in 2012 as part of a presidential campaign pledge to
promote balanced regional growth.

(4th LD) Conglomerates to invest 4.38 tln won in new 'science-business' hub
SEOUL -- Four South Korean conglomerates are set to invest 4.38 trillion won
(US$3.87 billion) in building manufacturing and research facilities in a newly
planned city in central South Korea, industry officials said Monday.
The facilities will be built as part of the new "science and business" hub to be
established in Sejong City, about 150 kilometers south of Seoul, according to the
corporate officials.
-------
(2nd LD) N. Korea calls for early talks on peace treaty
SEOUL -- North Korea on Monday proposed holding talks on replacing the Korean War
armistice with a peace treaty, saying the agenda can be discussed at an
independent meeting of "armistice signatories" or even in the six-party nuclear
talks.
But the South Korean foreign ministry reacted skeptically, wary of the
possibility that the North may be trying to use the peace treaty issue to
undermine multilateral negotiations on ending Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.
-------
S. Korea skeptical of N. Korean proposal for peace treaty
SEOUL -- South Korea is thoroughly reviewing North Korea's proposal for talks on
replacing the Korean armistice with a peace agreement to ascertain Pyongyang's
true intentions, wary of the possibility that the North may be trying to
undermine negotiations on ending its nuclear ambitions, an official said Monday.
"We cannot say it is all good news because what they proposed is somewhat
different from our position on such talks," an official at South Korea's foreign
ministry said.
