The Presidential Committee for Unification Preparation, together with the East Asia Institute, held a seminar entitled “A New US Administration and the Peaceful Unification of Korea” on November 11th, 2016 at the Korea Press Foundation. Experts from the US, Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea gathered to discuss solutions to the North Korean nuclear problem and methods for peaceful unification. Amidst great uncertainties over US policy towards North Korea under Republican President Elect Donald Trump, participants focused on the need for active cooperation between the five countries in seeking new approaches to counter the threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missiles outside of sanctions so as to achieve peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.
