S Korean politician apologises for dancing with N Korean waitress

The leader of South Korea’s ruling party today apologised for dancing with a North Korean waitress during his recent trip to a North-South joint industrial zone in the communist country.

Kim Geun-tae, chairman of the ruling Uri Party, travelled to the industrial complex in the North Korean border city of Kaesong on Friday in an attempt to show Seoul’s determination that cross-border projects should continue despite the North’s nuclear test.
