The Kaesong Industrial Complex is a special economic zone located just north of the Demilitarized Zone between North Korea and South Korea. Established in 2002, it was designed to promote cooperation and economic collaboration between the two countries. The complex houses factories that employ North Korean workers while being managed by South Korean companies. The complex has faced various challenges, including political tensions and military conflicts. Despite its potential for fostering inter-Korean relations, operations have been suspended multiple times, particularly during periods of heightened tensions. The Kaesong Industrial Complex remains a significant symbol of economic engagement on the Korean Peninsula.
