North Korea APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 20/11/2024

To develop solutions that promote and support human rights, including religious freedom, humanitarian needs, democracy and challenges to international security posed by the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea (DPRK). The APPG seeks to build relationships with the North Korean exile community to foster a deeper understanding of the difficulties facing the people of North Korea and to explore meaningful engagements between the parliaments of the UK and the DPRK.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
