The South Korean government has reiterated that security must be guaranteed in order to revive tourism at North Korea's Mt. Kumgang.

Marking the 11th anniversary of the inter-Korean joint tour project, Seoul's Unification Ministry said remaining questions over the tragic shooting death of a South Korean tourist last year must be answered first and preventative measures set up before travel to the region can be resumed.

A year after halting the trips, tour operator Hyundai's chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and agreed in principle to resume travel to the mountain resort.
