On May 25, Unification Minister Kwon Youngse stood on the podium at Ewha Womans University (Ewha), a leading university for unification education, to give a one-off special lecture on unification on the occasion of the 11th Unification Education Week.

The lecture was attended by Ehwa President Kim Eun-mee and Ehwa professors as well as about 200 students, including international students from the UK, Mongolia, and China.

Minister Kwon gave a special lecture on “Peaceful Unification of the Korean Peninsula and the Yoon Administration’s Unification and North Korean Policies.”

In particular, the minister asked the young generations for “their understanding on the human rights issue in North Korea, interest and participation in preparing for a unified future, and empathy for North Korean defectors, who are viewed as the ‘precursor to unification’, as part of our society.

The special lecture ended with a passionate Q&A session, and served as an opportunity to affirm the young generations’ interest in and promote their understanding on unification.
