SEOUL, 14 June, 2021 (TON): Ahead of the 21st anniversary of 15 June 2000 joint declaration, on Monday, the South Korea’s Unification Ministry requested North Korea to respond to Seoul’s dialogue offer.
While addressing the press briefing, the Ministry spokesperson said that the government urges the North to return to the spirit of the declaration and positively respond to the call for dialogue and cooperation between the two Koreas, the media reported.
The government will try the best to take ahead the Korean Peninsula peace process, including the declaration.
The declaration was announced during the summit in Pyongyang in June 2000 between late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
However, the South Korean government will hold no official event on Tuesday to mark the 21st anniversary of the declaration, but several other gatherings would be reportedly hosted by civilians, municipal governments, and Parliament.
