The ROK and the U.S., nations that share common values of freedom and
human rights, must work together to address the Korean Peninsula issues.
Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho meets with delegation of U.S.
Congressional Study Group on Korea (March 25)
On March 25, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho met with six
members of the United States Congressional Study Group on Korea
(CSGK)* to exchange views on matters of mutual interest such as Korean
Peninsula issues and North Korea policies.
Minister Kim expressed appreciation to the U.S. CSGK for their
bipartisan support for consolidating the ROK-U.S. alliance and
promoting human rights in North Korea.
* The Congressional Study Group on Korea (CSGK) is a bipartisan
study group on Korea in the U.S. Congress established in February
2018, with about 80 members of the U.S. Congress (as of December 2023).
Referring to the vision, of a “unified Korean Peninsula that is free
and at peace,” stated in the joint statement of the Republic of Korea,
the United States, and Japan at the Camp David Summit last August and
President Yoon Suk Yeol’s aspiration for a “free, unified Republic of
Korea” that is led by our people in his commemorative address at the
March First Independence Movement Day, Minister Kim asked the CSGK for
great support.
Representative Young Kim and Ami Bera expressed concerns over
intensifying provocations and threats posed by North Korea lately,
emphasizing that the Republic of Korea and the United States, nations
that share common values such as freedom and human rights, must work
closely together to address the Korean Peninsula issues. The two sides
agreed to continue communicating on the matter.
