Statement of the DKOR Chair on the recent developments in the Republic of Korea

3 December 2024

The Delegation for relations with the Korean Peninsula (DKOR) follows with great concern the developments in the Republic of Korea, after the declaration by President Yoon Suk Yeol of the emergency martial law on Tuesday 3rd December and the vote of the National Assembly demanding the lifting of the decree.

The EU-ROK strategic partnership, to which the EP is firmly committed, is built on the values of democracy, rule of law and the respect of fundamental rights and freedoms. In this context, DKOR remains confident that the situation in the Republic of Korea will be peacefully resolved, in full respect of the democratic values.
