South Korea’s Ministry of Unification may seek reimbursement for money it sent to the World Food Programme (WFP) last year, which was supposed to cover the costs of buying and sending thousands of tons of rice to North Korea.
In 2019, the South Korean government sent 13.8 billion won (around $11.6 million) to the WFP to pay for the safe delivery of 50,000 tons of rice, as well as equipment and aid monitoring costs.
