Seoul Gives English-Language Name to NK Policy
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 17:12:11

The Lee Myung-bak administration has decided to call its policy on
North Korea "the policy of mutual benefit and common prosperity" in
English. A Unification Ministry spokesman said Tuesday that the
official English name of the policy is intended to accurately describe
the Lee administration's stance on North Korea, which seeks mutual
benefits and common prosperity between the two Koreas. The ministry
said it surveyed foreign correspondents in Seoul and consulted with
other government agencies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and Trade, the Ministry of National Defense, the National Intelligence
Service and the Korean Culture and Information Service before making
its decision.
