The Ministry of Unification has decided to include inter-Korean economic cooperation in its unification textbook. The ministry is planning to include details about the recent improvement in economic engagements and developments between the two Koreas under the title of “The Economy on the Peninsula of Peace and Prosperity.” The section will emphasize the need for the South to recognize the North as a partner for prosperity. A government official said, “The decision falls in line with the ministry’s efforts to get the public to pay more attention to inter-Korean relations with a focus on economic ties.”
