"The delay in the North's construction of the Gyeongui inter-Korean railway may be partially due to a lack of materials," the minister said in a speech at the Seoul Plaza Hotel hosted by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
When asked which would be held with most priority among the three inter-Korean railways currently under construction - the Gyeongui line, the Gyeongwon line and the Donghae line - the minister said all three are equally important and would be pursued simultaneously.
The Donghae line is not a severed railway, but a more recent idea that would eventually stretch all the way along the east coast of the peninsula from Busan in the South to the North's border with Russia.
