South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol offered on Thursday to establish a working-level consultative body with North Korea to discuss ways to ease tension and resume economic cooperation, as he laid out his vision on unification of the neighbours.
But a unified Korea appears a distant prospect with relations between the neighbours at the lowest point in decades as North Korea races to advance its nuclear and missile capabilities and takes steps to cut ties with the South, redefining it as a separate, hostile enemy state. “Ultimately, we do hope that Pyongyang will see fit to engage with at least one of us at some point,“ she told the Hudson Institute think tank.
Yoon’s office has said there were “misunderstandings” about the appointment, and was seeking ways to resolve them.Yoon, in the speech, also raised the idea of launching an international conference on North Korea’s human rights and a fund to promote global awareness on the issue, support activist groups, and expand North Koreans’ access to outside information.
“Those plans look good on the surface, but from Pyongyang’s perspective, they are nothing but programmes that could contribute to overthrowing the regime,“ Yang said.
