On September 9, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho attended the opening ceremony of the Honam Unification Plus(+) Center in Mokpo City and delivered congratulatory remarks.

Minister Kim said, “Denuclearizing North Korea and developing proper inter-Korean relations are necessary for unification, but expanding human rights and the freedom of North Korean residents is required to fast-track it.

The minister highlighted that “only when we are concerned about North Korea’s denuclearization and human rights issues in North Korea and pursue the ‘right changes’ with one voice, will we be able to make changes and advance unification.”

Lastly, he “asked for the public and related officials to visit the center often and express their interest in and commitment to unification.”
