South Korea Ministers Clash Over North Korea Policy as President Lee Pushes Engagement The recent public disagreement between South Korea's Foreign and Unification ministers over how to engage North Korea has highlighted the internal divisions within President Lee Jae Myung's government.
The discord is particularly jarring given the administration's stated goal of reviving dialogue with Pyongyang, which has been stalled for years.
At issue is Unification Minister Chung Dong young's proposal for four party talks involving the US and China as a key initiative for the second half of the year.
