SEOUL, Aug. 29 (Yonhap) -- President Moon Jae-in called for stepped up efforts to resume dialogue with North Korea on Tuesday, hours after the communist state launched a missile that flew over Japan in the latest violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Moon made the remarks in a ceremony at the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae to appoint the new vice chairman of an advisory council on unification headed by the president himself.
"It is true the National Unification Advisory Council has not been able to show its presence as the inter-Korean relations came to a halt over the past 10 years," the president said, according to Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun.
"Even today, North Korea made a missile provocation, but that is when we must work harder to bring about a change in the South-North relations," Moon was quoted as saying.
