In his congratulatory remarks, Minister Kim stated that as it is important to deter North Korea from developing its nuclear program and make the North abandon it, he will bring North Korea to the negotiation table for denuclearization that centers around the Audacious Initiative.

Also, the minister said that he will drive to bring about changes in North Korea’s behavior on North Korean human rights by cooperating with the international community.

“The ministry will make a new unified future blueprint under firm values and vision and prepare for unification based on it by garnering the will for unification from the people,” he added.
