ABCDEFG SEOUL, Dec. 30 (Yonhap) Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha has voiced hope for North Korea to join a new regional cooperation forum to tackle public health crises like COVID-19, stressing the forum will help foster peace on the Korean Peninsula and beyond. Kang made the remarks during an inaugural session of the Northeast Asia Conference on Health Security on Tuesday. The dialogue platform is based on an initiative that President Moon Jae-in proposed in September for regional cooperation in handling pandemics and other challenges. I hope to welcome North Korea to this initiative in the near future. Its participation would surely be in the public health interest of North Korea, Kang said, noting the two Koreas are bound in a single community of life and safety.
