President Yoon Suk-yeol said Monday he will spare no effort to help North Korea cope with a massive outbreak of COVID-19, offering to send vaccines and other necessary supplies if Pyongyang agrees to accept them.
"We must not hold back on providing necessary assistance to the North Korean people, who are exposed to the threat of the coronavirus," Yoon said during his first budget speech at the National Assembly.
