SEOUL: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) told South Korea on Friday that it would accept the 10,000 tons of corn aid that South Korea offered in October, Yonhap news agency quoted a spokeswoman with South Korea's Unification Ministry as saying.
DPRK sent a fax message to South Korea, 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 and deliver it to DPRK.
