Positive responses to KOTRA ad
I am writing in response to the Feb.19 story, “Chopsticks ad puzzles some foreigners.”

Japan's Re-examination of apology
The decision by Japan to re-examine the apology it made to women who were forced to work in the Japanese military comfort zones in World War II could further upset South Korea and the former "comfort women" across Korea, on the Chinese Mainland, in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

Reunification - jackpot or bonanza?
It is impossible to achieve reunification unless the two Koreas can first end the Korean War which remains at a ceasefire and has done so since 1953. That is the prerequisite to make any improvement between the two Koreas. Can Ban Ki-moon help end the Korean War, which has continued for 64 years?

Challenging but unavoidable reform
I am afraid that your interview article with me on Korea's electricity pricing ("Higher electricity rate needed for reduction of carbon dioxide," Feb. 27) fails to convey my position on the issue more fully.

Speaking against Daoists
Regarding the article that prompted debate on the role of Daoism as a philosophy for the future (Jan 6, "Daoism: the philosophy for the future" by Chung Min-uck), a critical review of Professor Choi Jin-seok's arguments remains unavoidable.

Understanding plight of defectors
Recently, I read a column entitled "Let's embrace North Korean defectors,’’ written by The Korea Times Executive Managing Director Lee Chang-sup. I couldn't agree with him more, especially about his conclusion in the article which, in brief, reads, "We South Koreans need to understand defectors' plights in order to establish a harmonious society."

Bright future for Myanmar
Recently I have been in the habit of looking closely at articles on Myanmar. According to these, the country is eager to open to foreign countries, such as holding international sports events and hosting meetings.

Pakistan shares non-proliferation objectives of international community
Pakistan shares non-proliferation objectives of international community
This is with reference to the story headlined “South Korea, India to share intel on North Korea, Pakistan” carried in the Jan. 17 edition of The Korea Times. The story cites unnamed sources as stating that the Republic of Korea and India are to share intelligence on purported nuclear proliferation activities by Pakistan and the DPRK.
