NK News | Choi Moon-soon in an interview with NK News at Jeongseon Forum, Aug. 18, 2021
The international community should reconsider whether sanctions have achieved any progress toward North Korea’s denuclearization, the South Korean governor of the only province spanning both Koreas told NK News in an exclusive interview.
Speaking to NK News at the Jeongseon Forum on Thursday, Gangwon Province Governor Choi Moon-soon also said Pyongyang is uncomfortable with offers of “humanitarian” assistance, as it implies a sense of pity.
