Korea will consult with Nepal regarding the resumption of search and rescue operations, according to a Seoul official. The deputy chief of mission at the Korean Embassy in Washington, Yoon Chu-sok, arrived in Kathmandu earlier to lead the second contingent of the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT). The eight-member contingent, smaller than the previous 44-member team, aims to work seamlessly with the first contingent.
Yoon emphasized the need to coordinate with Nepalese authorities and international organizations for planning reconstruction and recovery efforts. The KDRT members include six employees from Doosan Enerbility Co. and three from Korea South-East Power Co., who went missing on August 26 following a massive event.
