The case for South Korean engagement with the North – NKNews Podcast Ep.144

September 01, 2020

In the second half of a two-part interview with NK News (part one can be found here), Pastor Cho Hun Jung discusses prospects for unification, family reunions and the politicization of what many see as benign inter-Korean issues. He also talks about the illusion of South Korea’s sovereignty on inter-Korean issues and why human rights should be considered relative.
Pastor Cho is a standing member of the South Korean June 15 Joint Committee and a representative of the committee’s Seoul branch. The June 15, 2000 North-South Korea Joint Declaration can be found here.
