On March 29, Unification Minister Kwon Youngse attended a monthly meeting of the EU member-state ambassadors to Korea and held “UniOn Talks,” talks on the Yoon administration’s unification and North Korean policies.

The talks, held at the invitation of the EU Delegation to Korea, served as a communication venue for EU member states to expand their understanding of the Korean government’s unification and North Korean policies, and exchange broad views on the Korean Peninsula situation and inter-Korean relations.

Minister Kwon expressed concerns over North Korea’s ongoing nuclear and missile provocations amid fluctuations in the international circumstances and shared his assessment of the recent North Korean situation.

Moreover, Minister Kwon asked EU member states for their cooperation and support, stressing the importance of cooperation and efforts by the international community to bring about changes in North Korea.

The Ministry of Unification will strive to build and spread understanding of the Yoon administration’s unification and North Korean policies among the international community through regular communication with embassies in Korea and officials of international organizations.

In particular, the Unification Ministry looks forward to strengthening close cooperation between Korea and the EU as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties this year.
