Main workshop following cancellation of condolence
“Comparison with texts about peace on the Korean Peninsula”
與 “We do not sympathize with declaring the end of the Korean War”
The ruling and opposition parties also showed contrasting reactions to President Yun’s first keynote speech at the United Nations General Assembly following the controversy surrounding the cancellation of the condolence between President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife, Queen Elizabeth II of England , on the 21st. He criticized the opposition as “abstract and empty,” while the ruling party praised him, saying “he shows his status as a leader in the international community.”
