[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hee-jun] The National Unification Advisory Council (NUAC) has decided to abolish and reorganize three special committees, including the Special Committee for the Korean Peninsula End-of-War Declaration, which was established during former President Moon Jae-in's administration.


On the 21st, NUAC held an executive committee meeting and announced that it would abolish the "Special Committee for the Korean Peninsula End-of-War Declaration" and the "Special Committee for Supporting the Joint North-South Olympic Bid."


Additionally, the "Special Committee for Promoting Peace Public Diplomacy" will be reorganized into the "Special Committee for Promoting Unification Public Diplomacy." All three special committees were launched in January of this year, before former President Moon's term ended.


NUAC cited "recent changes in the conditions of the Korean Peninsula and international affairs, such as North Korea's advancement of nuclear and missile capabilities and successive military provocations" as the reason for abolishing the "Special Committee for the Korean Peninsula End-of-War Declaration."


It explained that the "Special Committee for Supporting the Joint North-South Olympic Bid" has become ineffective due to the confirmation of the 2032 Summer Olympics host city (Brisbane, Australia).



Furthermore, the reorganized "Special Committee for Promoting Unification Public Diplomacy" will expand its scope of activities by supporting the successful bid for major government international events such as the "2030 Busan World Expo," in addition to its existing unification public diplomacy functions.
