"Regardless of the reason, I am very sorry for the government to protect the lives and safety of the people." Said.
President Moon continued, "I take it in a special sense for the fact that Chairman Kim Jong-un has conveyed that he is very sorry to the people of Korea." I can confirm."
In particular, emphasizing the facts of the incident and the preparation of practical measures to prevent recurrence, he added, "I look forward to turning this tragic incident into an opportunity for dialogue and cooperation and to advance inter-Korean relations so that this tragic incident does not end with an incident."
"Even if we can't go out through institutional inter-Korean cooperation right away, we must keep the minimum line for maintaining peace in any case." "I hope that from solving this case, we can ignite dialogue and open the waters of cooperation." Said.
To this end, President Moon also urged, "I ask the North to restore and restart military communication lines first."
