SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has airlifted 200 tons of tangerines to North Korea in return for shipments of pine mushrooms by the North in September, officials said Monday. ADVERTISEMENTAfter a summit meeting between the Koreas in Pyongyang in September, North Korea gave South Korea 2 tons of pine mushrooms as a goodwill gesture. Pungsan is a dog breed native to North Korea and is best known for its loyalty and bravery during hunting. North Korea sent a pair of Pungsans to South Korea after the 2000 summit, and South Korea gave two indigenous Jindo dogs to the North. After a provocative series of nuclear and missile tests last year, North Korea entered talks with the United States and South Korea this year, saying it’s willing to deal away its growing nuclear weapons arsenal.
