National Reconciliation Council

The National Reconciliation Council (민족화해협의회) is a North Korean organization whose purpose is to facilitate visits from South Korea to North Korea.[2] Founded on 8 June 1998,[1] its chairman is Kim Yong-dae.[3] The first visit organized by the body was a 2001 visit to Mount Kumgang commemorating the 2000 inter-Korean summit. Most cultural, political, and religious visits from South Korea are through the National Reconciliation Council.[2] The organization is occasionally cited in official news releases from the Korean Central News Agency.[4][5]
