The Republic of Korea (RoK) offered the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) flood relief aid worth 5 billion won ($4.7 million) on Wednesday after latter reported dozens of casualties and thousands made homeless by torrential rain.
Seoul's unification ministry said the offer of medicine and daily necessities was made through the RoK's Red Cross. If the DPRK accepted it, talks would be held on shipping arrangements.
The offer came amid signs of an easing of high cross-border tensions. Nuclear negotiators from the two Koreas held rare talks last month on the sidelines of a regional security meeting in Bali.
