2. Q&A (Extract)
Q. Tomorrow marks one year since the Panmunjeom meeting between
Presidents Moon and Trump and Chairman Kim. Though Kim has put
military action plans against the South on hold, inter-Korean
relations are still strained and denuclearization talks between the
U.S. and North Korea has remained stalled. Does the Government have
any comments?
A. The ROKG will seek to improve inter-Korean relations and settle
peace on the Korean Peninsula while carefully considering current situations.
Q. I am aware that a hearing is being held regarding the
cancellation of two civic groups’ status as non-profit corporations.
Could you explain which parties are attending the hearing and what
procedures are to be taken?
A. Under the attendance of the civic group in question and related
Unification Ministry officials, a third-party is presiding over the hearing.
In accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act, the hearing is
part of the procedure under which concerned parties express opinions
before the administrative agency issues a disposition. After the
hearing session, concerned parties may inspect and review the contents
of the hearing record and request a correction if they have an
objection. The presiding official can conclude the hearing when he/she
deems that the presentation of opinions by concerned parties and the
examination of evidence regarding the relevant case have been completed.
Q. Has the Unification Ministry revoked business permits of any
other non-profit corporations in the past?
A. I do not have the relevant information to provide an answer.
(*The Ministry confirms that there have been 18 such cases in the
past decade.)
