South Korea’s unification ministry is seeking North Korea’s help to find a missing seaman near the two countries’ border on the east coast, it said on Sunday.
Request for Cooperation
The request was sent via a text message to reporters because there is no active communication line with the North, according to the ministry in charge of handling inter-Korean affairs.
The South Korean administration of President Lee Jae Myung has sought to ease tensions with Pyongyang since taking office last year, but its repeated overtures for dialogue have been rebuffed by North Korea, which declared South Korea as a “hostile nation” in 2024.
