강경화•김연철, 오늘 WFP 사무총장 면담…北식량지원 논의 가시화하나?

Amid South Korea's efforts to provide food aid to North Korea,... David Beasley, the Executive Director for the World Food Programme... was set to discuss the issue Monday with Seoul's foreign affairs and unification ministers.
Beasley is in Seoul for a forum on agricultural development.
However, the ministries have said that... his sit-down with the ministers will mainly cover the WFP's recent report on how North Korea needs roughly 1-point-4 million tons of food aid.
With President Trump's support,... Seoul announced last week, that it will start reviewing humanitarian food aid to the North.
