[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sunhee] President Moon Jae-in stated on the 10th, "Proposals such as inter-Korean railway connection and individual tourism are all still valid," but added, "North Korea has not yet responded positively to these proposals."


During a Q&A session following a special speech marking his third anniversary in office at 11 a.m. at the Chuncheon Press Center, President Moon was asked about future plans for inter-Korean relations and cooperation projects. He replied, "It is expected that North Korea is facing various difficulties due to the COVID-19 situation."



However, President Moon said, "Since the overall situation is currently at a standstill, I do not think we can keep pressuring North Korea continuously," and added, "We plan to persistently persuade North Korea to accept our proposals once the COVID-19 situation calms down."
