Unification Minister Kwon Young-se reporting on business [국회사진기자단]
Unification Minister Kwon Young-se said: “The behavior of the previous government was clearly wrong” in relation to the repatriation of North Korean fishermen.
Minister Kwon said: “It is not appropriate to divide defection into pure defection and impure defection. If you are a Korean citizen, you are a citizen and there is no system that deprives you of citizenship.”
Minister Kwon said: “The North Korean defectors clearly expressed their intention to defect within a certain period of time and wrote a handwritten letter intending to defect, but the period for investigating the facts was too short. It is unprecedented, “he stressed.
When Independent Representative Kim Hong-geol asked, “Isn’t the minister forcing Unification Ministry employees to write a remorse for doing something wrong in the previous administration?” He said, “I made a hasty decision on ‘attack on the West Sea, and I have a duty to protect our people, there are aspects that have not been done, “he replied.
Minister Kwon stressed: “This part must be clearly and clearly disclosed through investigations or audits, and the whole position of the Unification Ministry is that we will cooperate without prejudice in this regard.”
