Unification Spokesperson’s Statement on
North Korea’s dismantlement of the Reunion Center for the
Separated Families
February 13, 2025
o The ROK Government has confirmed that the North is dismantling the
Reunion Center for the Separated Families at Mount Geumgang, a
facility that conveys the aspiration of separated families to be reunited.
o The Government expresses deep regret over the North’s unilateral
dismantlement of a facility that was built under agreement between the
two Koreas, and sternly urges the North to immediately suspend all
such actions.
- Demolishing the reunion center is an act against humanity that
crushes the yearning of separated families, as well as a grave
infringement of our state-owned property.
o The North’s unilateral dismantlement cannot be justified under any
pretext, and all responsibility rests entirely with the North Korean authority.
o The Government will consider necessary measures, including legal
actions and cooperation with the international society.
