The Ministry of Unification is an executive department of the South Korean government responsible for working towards the reunification of Korea. It was first established in 1969 as the ''National Unification Board'', under the rule of Park Chung-hee. It gained its current status in 1998 and has played a major role in promoting inter-Korean dialogues, and exchanges and cooperation. Under previous minister Yu Woo-ik, the ministry consisted of one office for planning and coordination; three bureaus for unification policy, inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation, and humanitarian cooperation; one special bureau for the Gaeseong Industrial Complex project; and five affiliated agencies on unification education, inter-Korean dialogue, transit between the South and the North, settlement support for dislocated North Koreans and inter-Korean consultations on exchanges and cooperation. In 2008, the ministry was significantly downsized as part of an efficiency restructuring of government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brief History - 2000s )〕 The current minister is Hong Yong-pyo, a former advisor to the President on North Korea.
