The position statement of the United Nations Refugee organization is always a strong tone to talk to the government of the Party, so I think its amazing to have a strong statement.I understand enough of that reaction and confusion, but I think we should talk about the difference between understanding and perspective before we can argue for it, he added.We seem to be talking about the difficulties because we have various social problems, Chung said, referring to the controversy surrounding the Yemen Refugee issue. The government should listen to the peoples concerns and solve the problem, and the Korean people should show calmly wiseness about the issue in order to empower the Republic of Korea to be recognized as a member of the international community.
