The SBS news agency confirmed that the lawmakers are discussing the logic of the ruling party lawmakers while the constitutionality of the Pyongyang Declaration is controversial.

The legislature decided that the railway, road connection and forest cooperation included in the Pyongyang Declaration is a financial burden, but the consent of the National Assembly is necessary. However, the legislature judged that it was not a violation of the right to ratify the National Assembly by sending the National Assembly to ratify the Panmunjom Declaration.

In addition, I pointed out that separate inter-Korean agreements have been written for the Gaesong Industrial Complex, Geumgangsan Tourism, the Seohae Special Economic Zone and the Donghae Special Tourism Zone, and a separate parliament should be ratified if there is a serious financial burden in the future.
