Chung Dong-young: "Deepening Agony and Frustration… We Must Not Stop Our March Toward Peace"

Unification Minister Chung Dong-young stated on the 26th anniversary of the June 15 Inter-Korean Joint Declaration that "agony and frustration are only deepening," adding, "Nevertheless, we can never let go of the thread of dialogue, and we must not stop our march toward peace."

On social media, Minister Chung wrote, "The Lee Jae-myung administration has poured its efforts into proactive peace measures over the past year, including halting the distribution of leaflets and the use of loudspeakers. However, all that has returned is a silence that is cruelly heavy and cold."

At the same time, he emphasized, "The task at hand is clear: to manage and transform this precarious relationship of two hostile states into one of peaceful coexistence."
