South Korea is to handle the expenses incurred from its art troupe and Taekwondo demonstration team's visit to Pyongyang through the government's Inter-Korean Cooperation Fund.
According to Seoul's unification ministry the fund was set up in 1990 to enable exchanges of material resources and comprehensive cooperation between the two Koreas.
One-point-six billion won... or approximately one-point-five million U.S. dollars... will be used in payments for staff and companies, as well as flight charges and other related expenses.
Accommodations, meals and transportation whilst they were in North Korea have already been covered by Pyongyang.
The fund will also be used for other inter-Korean projects, such as DNA tests to identify members of war torn families... and to build a digital archive of relics and archeological material that have been unearthed since 2007 in the North Korean city of Kaesong.
