South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs respects ``One China''... ``Promotes real cooperation'' with Taiwan

South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has announced that it will cooperate substantially with Taiwan based on the basic position of "one China."
Lim Su-seok, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, addressed the issue of China and Taiwan at a regular press conference on the 23rd.
When asked about their position on Taiwan, the Korean government responded, ``The Korean government's principle position on Taiwan is based on its position of respecting the idea of ``one China,'' which was adopted after the Sino-Korean diplomatic relations.
We will continue to increase substantive cooperation." Geopolitical tensions over the Taiwan Strait have increased due to the recent election of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party's Vice President Lai Ching-de.
In response to the election results, US President Biden made it clear that ``we do not support Taiwan's independence,'' and maintained the one-China principle. South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs' announcement also maintains the same position as the US
It seems likely that they will do so. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said, ``Our position as one China remains unchanged,'' and ``We are conveying to China the recognition that peace and stability on Taiwan and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula are important.''
The South Korean government is expected to urge China to comply with its obligation to prohibit the deportation of military prisoners of war and North Korean defectors at the United Nations Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) to be held in Geneva, Switzerland this afternoon.
It will be done. The South Korean government participated in the UPR's pre-written questions for the first time to China. △Can you provide information on the refugee application procedures available to defectors from overseas, including North Korea?
△Protection and support measures for female defectors from overseas, including North Korea, who are at risk of human trafficking, forced marriage, and other forms of exploitation
△Women who leave their countries, including countries classified as illegal residents under Chinese domestic law, give birth in China.
It included measures to protect and support children. In response, Spokesperson Lim said, ``For specific details, please refer to the South Korean statement that will be published on the relevant United Nations website in the future.''
