With North Korea and South Korean making a cautious attempt for rebuilding the wounded ties, South Korea offered the first flood help to North Korea.
The offer has been made by South Korea via Red Cross. According to South Korea it will be sending a shipment made up of 10,000 tons of corn, 20 tons of milk power and medicine to North Korea.
The aid was being offered purely on humanitarian grounds and no further shipments were planned, the Unification Ministry in Seoul said. This proposal, if approved by North Korea, will be the first ever aid that is send to the North Korea after Lee Myung Bak took charge as the President of South Korea.
Lee took a harder line toward the North than his liberal predecessors, halting aid and insisting it would be linked to Pyongyang's progress toward denuclearisation.
