[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Ministry of Unification criticized North Korea for repeatedly launching missiles since the beginning of the new year, calling it "a setback to peace efforts," and urged dialogue.

An official from the Ministry of Unification said to reporters on the 11th, "We perceive this as going against our efforts to create peace on the Korean Peninsula at a time when stability in the situation is crucial."

The official emphasized, "We repeatedly urge North Korea to respond to our efforts to build peace through dialogue, rather than continuing worrisome actions such as consecutive missile launches during this critical period for stability."

He added, "In order to fundamentally resolve concerns caused by North Korea's successive missile launches, we will consistently strive to manage the situation on the Korean Peninsula peacefully and stably, and to advance inter-Korean peace and the development of inter-Korean relations to an irreversible stage through dialogue and cooperation between the South and the North."
