Hong Yang-ho
Vice Minister of Unification
Korea is the only divided country in the world. Leaving the days of the Cold War in the ashes of history, the world is trying to usher in an era of reconciliation and cooperation, overcoming the differences in ideology and political systems. And yet, the Korean peninsula is still under the shadow of confrontation and division.
Instability on the Korean Peninsula poses a great threat to peace and stability in Northeast Asia. In light of this, achieving peace and unification on the peninsula does not only fulfill the dream of the Korean people but accomplishes the crucial task of achieving permanent peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia.
