Regarding the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the Gaeseong Inter-Korean Cooperation Office today (14th), the Ministry of Unification said, "I am very sorry that the situation continues to not have a basic communication system between the two Koreas."
Unification Ministry spokesman Yeo Sang-sang mentioned that the operation of the joint liaison office was suspended at a regular briefing. "The government hopes that the inter-Korean liaison office will be restarted as soon as possible and the communication channel between the two Koreas will be restored."
In June, North Korea blocked the communication channel between the two Koreas, saying that it would convert its business toward South Korea into an adversary project, and then the Gaeseong Inter-Korean Joint Contact Office unilaterally exploded.
A spokeswoman for the female spokesman said "the current organization is being maintained" of our personnel who returned from working at the joint liaison office, and then explained that it is necessary to discuss what will happen in the future.
In addition, it said that it is not planning a separate event for the second anniversary of the 9.19 Pyongyang Joint Declaration, which has come five days ahead.
On the other hand, regarding the disclosure of personal letters exchanged between the leaders of North America in the new book'Rage' of American journalist Bob Woodward, he refrained from commenting, saying, "It is not appropriate to comment on the contents of foreign journalists' works that have not yet been published." .
