On May 23, the Ministry of Unification held the “2023 Youth Dialogue: Painting a Unified Future Together.”

In Part One, in-depth discussions on ways to raise the awareness of unification among young people were held.

In Part Two, the main contents of the New Future Initiative on Unification (tentative) were introduced by the chairman of the Unification Future Planning Committee and proposals for the New Future Initiative on Unification pilot project were prepared by each participating subcommittee.

In Part Three, the results of the in-depth discussions were shared, and Unification Minister Kwon held a two-way dialogue, including a Q&A session on unification and North Korean policies, with young people.

“I believe it is quite meaningful that the youth themselves suggested the causes and solutions for the decline of awareness in unification among the younger generations, and the Ministry of Unification will make more progressive efforts to garner views from the younger generations, when establishing unification policies, as we are doing today,” Minister Kwon said.

“We will make sure to collate and review the proposals on the New Future Initiative on Unification pilot project proposed by the youth,” he added.

Events such as a Youth Dialogue Creative Song Music Performance, a Line Drawing Performance, and a North Korean Human Rights Big Game Beta Test were held as part of the Youth Dialogue.
