The Blue House reaffirmed its stance on September 25 regarding the public transfer of two North Korean soldiers to South Korea, responding to Ukraine's assertion that there was no "secret agreement" made. The South Korean government stated it would handle the situation according to the individuals' free will, domestic law, international law, and humanitarian principles.
A Blue House official commented after a briefing in Mexico City, saying, "It seems inappropriate to provide specific answers regarding the statements from Ukrainian sources."
The official added, "The principles mentioned by a senior Blue House official yesterday indicate that in such matters, our government's position is to respond consistently according to the wishes of the parties involved, domestic legal procedures, international legal issues, and humanitarian principles."
Earlier, the Ukrainian presidential office stated that the transfer of the two North Korean soldiers to South Korea was conducted through direct dialogue with South Korea, leading to a dispute over the facts.
