2. Q&A
Q) Could you comment on today’s report that a North Korean defector group distributed leaflets toward the North on May 5?
A) Regarding the dissemination of leaflets, there has been no change in the Government’s current position that sending leaflets should be refrained given the sensitive inter-Korean relations and the safety of residents near the border area.
Q) Just a moment ago, a South Korean prisoner of war won compensation against North Korea. What is the Ministry’s take on this?
A) As I have not seen the final results of that judgment yet, I will check and let you know.
Q) Except for a couple of days, the weather in early May has not been bad so far. Could you confirm whether North Korea has notified the IMO or ICAO regarding the launch of its military reconnaissance satellite, and when was the last time the North has done so?
A) Let me check whether North Korea has notified any international organizations regarding the satellite launch.
Q) During yesterday's summit between South Korea and Japan, Prime Minister Kishida mentioned that President Yoon expressed strong support for the Japanese abduction issue, and is this comment related to a consultative group which will be launched by the Unification Ministry to address abduction issues? Also could you explain the current status of the formation of this group?
A) First of all, since the summit is currently underway, it is difficult to confirm the related matters to the summit with the current direction of the Ministry. Regarding the status of the consultative group, we will let you know when the progress is materialized.
