[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Ministry of Unification published the '2021 Unification White Paper' on the 29th, summarizing the North Korea and unification policies of the past year.

The Unification White Paper is composed of a total of 7 chapters: Korean Peninsula Policy, Inter-Korean Exchange and Cooperation, Humanitarian Cooperation, Inter-Korean Dialogue, Support for North Korean Defectors' Settlement, Unification Education, and Strengthening the Policy Implementation Foundation.

In the foreword, Minister of Unification Lee In-young stated, "Although last year was challenging due to circumstances surrounding the Korean Peninsula such as the 'lack of progress in North Korea-US relations,' the 'destruction of the Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office,' and the 'shooting death of our citizens in the West Sea,' we have consistently pursued the peace process on the Korean Peninsula," and added, "We will strive to promptly establish the foundation for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the establishment of a permanent peace regime, and joint prosperity through economic and cultural cooperation."
