[Asia Economy Reporter Hee-jun Jang] The Ministry of Unification will hold its first public seminar to implement the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's North Korea policy, the "Bold Initiative."

The Ministry of Unification announced on the 15th that it will hold a public seminar for the implementation of the Bold Initiative at 2 p.m. on the 21st at the press conference room on the 19th floor of the Korea Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul.

This is the first time the Ministry of Unification has held a public seminar since proposing the Bold Initiative, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's denuclearization roadmap.

The seminar will open with an opening address by Minister of Unification Kwon Young-se, followed by a keynote presentation by an official on the meaning and direction of the Bold Initiative. The first session will focus on creating conditions for the implementation of the Bold Initiative, and the second session will feature designated expert discussions centered on implementation strategies for political, military, and economic measures.

The Bold Initiative is a proposal to jointly create a "denuclearized, peaceful, and prosperous Korean Peninsula" through the simultaneous and phased implementation of North Korea's denuclearization measures and our economic, political, and military measures. President Yoon Suk-yeol proposed this in his speech commemorating the 77th Liberation Day.

An official from the Ministry of Unification told reporters on the day, "The process of concretizing the Bold Initiative is ongoing," and added, "We are also preparing comprehensive materials to explain the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's unification and North Korea policies, including the Bold Initiative, to the public."
