South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday said that the country is willing to provide COVID-19 vaccines to North Korea amid a delay in the delivery of AstraZeneca vaccines to the North.

It also recently criticized other countries for procuring more vaccine doses than they need, saying that some countries cannot access them.
