Ministry of Unification "Efforts to improve human rights in North Korea and to maintain cooperation between South Korea

Regarding the claim that the success of former U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election could weaken the momentum for consultation on human rights in North Korea, the Ministry of Unification said it will try to maintain cooperation between South Korea and the U.S.

An official from the Ministry of Unification told reporters today that the North Korean human rights issue is a policy that wins broad support in the United States.

There is a deep consensus on North Korea's denuclearization and real improvement of human rights in North Korea, not only in the South Korea-U.S. government but also in the North. He stressed that the importance and sensitivity of human rights are increasing over time.
