[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Ministry of Unification has refuted reports claiming that nuclear power plants were included in the "New Economic Map of the Korean Peninsula" delivered to the North, stating that "there is no such content at all."

On the 31st, the Ministry of Unification stated, "The 'New Economic Map of the Korean Peninsula' delivered to the North during the inter-Korean summit on April 27, 2018, does not contain the word 'nuclear power plant' or any related content."

This clarification comes in response to some media reports that the USB containing the "New Economic Map of the Korean Peninsula," handed by President Moon Jae-in to North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un during the 2018 'Panmunjom Dohobari Meeting,' included content related to nuclear power plants.

Earlier, on the 29th, the Ministry of Unification also stated, "Since 2018, there have been no cases of pursuing nuclear power plant construction projects in North Korean regions as part of inter-Korean cooperation projects."
