Jeollanam-do (September 8)
On September 8, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho invited families of
North Korean defectors to Hana Center in Jeollanam-do (located in
Honam Unification Plus(+) Center) to listen to their opinions.
Minister Kim conveyed that he would meet with North Korean defectors
face-to-face wherever he visits, listen to their opinions, and make
efforts to improve related policies.
The minister said, “I am sure there are many challenges in the
provinces. I will work with local governments to find appropriate
solutions based on your ideas.”
“We will thoroughly look into the overall support policies for North
Korean defectors and prudently refine them so that no one in the blind
spots is marginalized,” he added.
Lastly, he said, “In particular, if anyone needs help with their
daily lives or has any suggestions about settlement policies, please
do not hesitate to provide feedback to the Ministry of Unification
through the Hana Center.”
