Thank you, Mr. Chair. Five minutes is not much when so many questions come to mind.
Dr. Vollertsen, I thought your testimony was astounding. Living in a society blessed with wealth and abundance, I wonder, sitting in this chair, how it could be that there is still hunger in the world and that children are starving when we are able to send ships into space, on Mars and to the moon. I was shocked by what I heard today. The main question that comes to my mind is the following.
Mr. Lee, it seems the international community, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, offered tools and support to North Korea. But being the rogue state that it is, North Korea always rejected the helping hand of the international community. Why didn’t the international community retaliate against North Korea, which has South Korea and China as neighbours but still remains a rogue state? This country whose population is starving almost by order of its government, this rogue regime that supports terrorism must be getting some kind of help from external forces.
