Unification Minister Lee In-young stressed that although North Korea is not responding to requests for a joint investigation into the death of a public official, it must resolve the issue through dialogue.
At the National Assembly's Foreign and Transportation Commission's state affairs audit, Lee asked the power of the people on how to bring down North Korea's cooperation, such as inter-Korean joint investigations or military communication line restoration, and asked, "How to solve a smooth solution through inter-Korean approach and dialogue. I think I have to look for it first.”
As for how long to wait for North Korea's response, "(North Korea) has mentioned measures to return the body if it is found." "Even if the body is a little late, it is possible to give up the effort to return to the family's arms until the end. "Nothing."
When it was pointed out that it was premature for the tour of Panmunjom, which was scheduled to resume next month, he said, "There were quite serious cases (between North and South) in the previous regime, but they resumed after 7-10 days.
