Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho delivers a lecture for the Korea Freedom Federation (February 28)

On February 28, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho attended a regular general meeting of the Korea Freedom Federation for 2024 and delivered a special lecture on the theme of the “Recent North Korean Situation and Socioeconomic Aspects.”

The event was attended by around 150 members of the federation, including the president.

During his lecture, Minister Kim emphasized that we “should take note of the fact that North Korean residents are progressing towards the direction we hope for,” despite social control imposed on them by the North Korean authorities.

Moreover, Minister Kim explained that the recent shift in North Korea’s policy towards South Korea aims to “block North Korean residents’ admiration for South Korean society and justify nuclear development and military threats by fueling hostility.”

The minister also emphasized that having a proper understanding of the reality of North Korea is the foundation for peaceful unification based on the liberal democratic order. He further asked members of the Korea Freedom Federation to join the efforts in spreading the realities of North Korea.
