Two Koreas hold talks on volcanic threat

South and North Korea held more talks yesterday about a potential volcanic threat from the peninsula's highest mountain, in a rare example of cooperation after months of confrontation.
Four South Korean experts met their North Korean counterparts at the North's border town of Kaesong for a second round of talks on ways to deal with any eruption at Mount Paektu, the South's unification ministry said.
After a day of discussions they agreed to hold an experts' meeting next month in the North's capital Pyongyang or another location, the ministry said.
They also agreed to conduct a joint field inspection of the mountain in mid-June.
