Government Clarifies No Shift from Peaceful Coexistence Policy

In a follow‑up briefing, the Unification Ministry reiterated that the administration’s core stance of peaceful coexistence with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea stays unchanged. Officials noted that while circumstances are “difficult,” the pursuit of small, confidence‑building measures will not be halted.

Senior officials added that the President’s advice was taken into account, but it does not translate into a withdrawal from ongoing diplomatic outreach.
