SEOUL, Jun 28 (NNN-YONHAP) – A South Korean minister, in charge of inter-Korean affairs, said yesterday, the country was still committed to dialogue with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).
“We remain firmly committed to addressing all inter-Korean issues through dialogue,” South Korean Unification Minister, Kwon Young-se, told a press conference with foreign correspondents, in Seoul.
“In that sense, our government will engage in consistent efforts to achieve change in the inter-Korean relations, which are in a stalemate, through the embracing of the path of dialogue,” said Kwon.
South Korean President, Yoon Suk-yeol, who was inaugurated on May 10, said, at his inaugural ceremony that, if the DPRK stops nuclear development and genuinely embarks on denuclearisation, his government will be prepared to work with the international community, to present an “audacious plan” that can improve the DPRK’s economy.
The minister said, South Korea wished to realise peaceful unification on the Korean Peninsula, through the peninsula’s denuclearisation and the normalised relations between the two Koreas.– NNN-YONHAP
