Kang Cheol-Hwan Meets U.S. Special Envoy Jay Lefkowitz

Daily NK has :

Kang : Now that the special envoy is appointed, I think concrete actions for North Korean human rights improvement must start. I believe much must focus on the rescue of the defectors, assistance to Free North Korea Broadcasting, sending radio into North Korea so we can bring substantial changes inside North Korea.

Lef[k]owitz: I will try to use the budget as effectively as possible once the Congress sets the budget. Although it may be different for North Korea, East Germany too changed by listening to West German broadcastings. I believe it is important for the North Korean people to hear outside information.

I will work to directly assist North Korean defectors and organizations or NGOs working at site to help North Korean defectors.
