Thank you, Chair.
Mr. King, thank you very much for travelling to Ottawa and meeting with our committee to discuss our shared deep concerns about the human rights situation in North Korea. It is also really very troubling. In North Korea we have an authoritarian state with a government that denies freedom of speech, press, assembly, association, religion, movement, and whatnot. We have reports of extrajudicial killings, disappearances, arbitrary detention, and torture.
You have really travelled the globe extensively, meeting with government officials and legislators around the globe. Is there any consensus on how we can really move forward and successfully tackle human rights situations and abuses in DPRK?
