01. Foundation of the Ministry of Unification
The Ministry of Unification was established on March 1, 1969, to consolidate the active discussions on unification across various social sectors following the April 19 Revolution and to address unification issues systematically and institutionally at the government level. Considering the nature of the division, the establishment of a central administrative agency dedicated to unification affairs holds great historical significance.
02. Mission
The Ministry of Unification takes charge of overall unification matters, including formulating policies on unification, inter-Korean dialogue, exchanges, cooperation, and humanitarian assistance; analyzing North Korea’s situation; providing unification education; and promoting unification.
