Koreas: South Korean president calls for reunification. Relations between the two Koreas are at an all-time low, as Pyongyang accelerates its weapons development programs.

“Our unification efforts must become a source of hope and a beacon for the North Korean people,” he said. South Korea is preparing for crucial elections on April 10 in which Yoon Suk Yeol's Conservative Party hopes to regain a parliamentary majority for the first time since 2016. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared in December that he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with the South.
