[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 8th, the government held the 320th Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation Promotion Council (교추협) meeting and reviewed and approved a plan to support 2.3 billion KRW from the Inter-Korean Cooperation Fund to restore the Bimakyo Bridge in order to normally operate the 'DMZ Peace Road' section in Cheorwon.

At the 교추협 meeting that day, Minister of Unification Lee In-young said in his opening remarks, "The situation on the Korean Peninsula is entering a new phase," and added, "At a time when the U.S. North Korea policy is coming to an end, North Korea is also moving away from its previous wait-and-see stance and starting to explore the situation."

He continued, "The government will calmly monitor the North Korean situation and do its best to create a momentum for transition so that the fate of the Korean Peninsula can once again move toward peace."
