-Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said at an international multilateral conference that the challenge caused by the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) has made North Korea more’North Korea’. Minister Kang attended the Manama Dialogue, a multilateral security conference held in Bahrain, hosted by the International Institute for Strategic Issues (IISS) on the 5th (local time) and said, “North Korea is not responding to our (Korea) health support proposal. North Korea is making a more closed and debated top-down decision on how to cope with the coronavirus,” he said. It is unusual for a high-ranking government official to publicly discuss the award of changes in North Korea caused by Corona 19 on the international stage.

Minister Kang said, “It is difficult to believe that North Korea still claims that there are no corona19 confirmed cases.” “All indications show that the North Korean leadership is very focused on controlling the disease (Corona 19), which it claims does not exist. It was a little odd situation.” “But we are ready to help, and we have proposed a Northeast Asian quarantine and health cooperation body to North Korea.” Minister Kang visited Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 4th to 6th to hold a series of bilateral talks with Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraqi and Jordanian foreign minister.
