North Korea scraps all economic cooperation with South Korea

North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly has voted to scrap all agreements with South Korea on promoting economic cooperation, including laws governing ties with Seoul and the Mount Kumgang tourism project.
The project to the scenic mountain, which drew nearly 2 million South Korean visitors, was suspended in 2008 following the shooting and killing of a South Korean tourist by North Korean guards.
South Korea's Unification Ministry views the North's action as unsurprising, further isolating the country, and does not recognize the unilateral move.
