YonhapPresident Lee Jae Myung on Sunday pledged to resolve the cases of South Korean citizens abducted by North Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War through dialogue and cooperation. Yonhap reported that Vice Unification Minister Kim Nam-jung read the statement on the president's behalf at an event in Paju, north of Seoul, marking the Korean War Abductees Remembrance Day.
"The government will not allow the issue of abductees to be buried in history," Lee said.
Lee expressed regret that family members have missed the abductees held in North Korea for over 70 years since the war and vowed to shift hostility and confrontation between the two Koreas to peaceful coexistence. The remembrance day was designated by law in late 2024 to be held annually on June 28.
Sunday's event was the second since its designation and drew some 300 attendees, including the vice unification minister, family members of abductees and officials of related agencies.
