one step closer to unification
the hot issues that the ministry's lee jae-joung touched upon was concentrating on food aid and attempting to connect severed families between the two nations. the food aid would come in form of fresh food along with fertiliser to assist with the continuation of north korea's depleting agricultural efforts. they also announced efforts to improve communication systems, namely video conferencing, in an attempt to re-connect families that were seperated after the war. it is estimated that there are 480 people living in the communist state.

the two are a long way away from unification, but it is positive to see that there are steps being taken by both sides to improve on the current situation. it is also through other nations now entering into talks with north korea, namely australia, opening up trade once again that a more secure stance of global vitallity has been taken. john howard, the australian prime minister, has also announced that he will send ministers over to the pyeongyang pennisula to discuss trade relations. australia cut ties with the nation in october of 2002. maybe this is a benchmark for things to come?
