South Korea approves $US6m aid for North

SOUTH Korea has approved $US6 million ($A6.74 million) in government aid for vaccines, medical care and food for North Korean children.

Seoul officials say it's the first such humanitarian aid set aside for Pyongyang since President Park Geun-hye took office in February.

Seoul's Unification Ministry said on Tuesday that it will send UNICEF the money on Wednesday.

Seoul last provided aid through the UN agency in 2011.

Park has vowed a tough response to any North Korean provocations but has also worked to build trust and encourage dialogue.

The aid comes as the Koreas remain deadlocked over efforts to restart a jointly-run factory park in North Korea that has been shuttered since Pyongyang withdrew its workers in April.

Pyongyang hasn't responded to a call by Seoul in late July for another round of talks.
