TOKYO (Sputnik) – South Korea’s Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se announced the country’s decision to allocate $230 million in next three years to solve the global refugee issue, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

“Minister Yun announced the ROK’s plan to offer 230 million US dollars in humanitarian assistance over the next three years in a tangible move to contribute to efforts to resolve the refugee issue. He added that with the Refugee Act in force since 2013 and a pilot refugee resettlement project under way since 2015, the ROK will continue to upgrade its policy to better support refugees,” the statement said.

Yun made his remarks on Tuesday at the Leader’s Summit on Refugees in New York.

He said that South Korea was very interested in the international refugee issue as many North Koreans were still fleeing their country “to gain freedom, safety and human dignity.”
