The US State Department emphasized the importance of the free flow of information to North Korea. He says it is important for North Koreans to have access to information that is not controlled by the regime. Reporter Ham Ji-ha complies.
On the 21st, an official from the US State Department spokesman’s office asked the VOA on the 21st: “Are there any concerns that the war law against North Korea passed by the Korean National Assembly undermine US efforts to induce information into North Korea? It is a priority issue ”.

It is critical that North Koreans have access to factual information not controlled by the North Korean regime. “The official said: “It is very important that North Koreans have access to factual information that is not controlled by the regime.”
This comment by a State Department official contradicts the position of the ROK government and the ruling Democratic Party, which passed the Inter-Korean Relations Development Act, which prohibits the dissemination of brochures on the North-South border.
