President Lee Jae Myung has ordered a review of measures to assist the families of nine Koreans who went missing during catastrophic floods in Nepal last month, his office revealed. The president's decision came after he received an update on the challenges faced by the families during his recent state visit to France, as reported by Cheong Wa Dae.
Lee emphasized that the review aimed to incorporate the families' wishes to the greatest extent possible following a thorough discussion and respect for their perspectives, according to a press notice. The government reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the families of its nationals who have been affected by the floods in Nepal.
The search for the nine Koreans continues, including six employees of Doosan Enerbility and three employees of Korea South-East Power, who were working near the Nepal-Tibet border when massive floods and landslides struck their construction site on August 26. Earlier, the families of the three Korea South-East Power employees organized a press conference in Kathmandu to express their demands.
