[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The National Archives of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 16th that it will publish a "photo book" capturing historic moments and a "document record book" composed of major policy documents to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the simultaneous UN membership of North and South Korea in 1991.
The photo book consists of about 200 photos collected from government photos held by the National Archives, the United Nations (Photo Library), the United States (National Archives and Records Administration), and Switzerland (Military Library). The document record book includes original texts and expert commentaries on over 60 documents related to the establishment of the government, the Korean War, and government documents concerning UN membership.
The National Archives explained that the background for publishing this record book was to widely promote the historical significance of the simultaneous UN membership of North and South Korea. First, the photo book, published under the theme "From Division and Confrontation to Dialogue and Reconciliation," allows readers to see efforts from the establishment of the government in 1948 to UN membership in 1991.
Reviewing the major documents, one can confirm the efforts of North and South Korea and the UN to find peaceful solutions through dialogue despite extreme diplomatic and military confrontations. The photo book and document record book are available for viewing on the National Archives website.
