1st Jeju Peace Forum
Building Common Peace & Prosperity in Northeast Asia
June 15~17, 2001
The Shilla Jeju
The inter-Korean summit and agreement on June 15, 2000, is a historical event that has advanced not only for the development of inter-Korean relations but also for common peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia. It was a turning point in the establishment of a Northeast Asian order, including the fact that the leaders of the two Koreas met for the first time since the Korean War, that a new Northeast Asian order was attempted, and that joint efforts to stabilize the region became visible.
However, the recent changes surrounding Northeast Asia also contain factors that can harm the peace atmosphere that has been made difficult by changes in the U.S. Republican administration, Japan's conservatism, China's hard-line response to it, and the stagnation of inter-Korean relations.
Therefore, it is time for practical efforts and dialogue to seek common peace and co-prosperity among political, economic, media, foreign affairs, and academic officials of major Northeast Asian countries, reflecting on their historical significance on the first anniversary of the inter-Korean summit.
The Jeju Peace Forum refers to a forum in which major leaders from political, economic, social, and academic fields from around the world attended from June 15 to 17, 2001, to commemorate the first anniversary of the inter-Korean summit, seeking current issues and ways for peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia.
This Jeju Peace Forum seeks to pursue the following objectives;
First, we would like to explore new possibilities for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia by inviting major political, economic, diplomatic, and social and cultural leaders from Northeast Asia to reflect on and evaluate the first anniversary of the inter-Korean summit.
Second, through this forum, we would like to set up a forum for intellectual discussions that can make sea ice a reality on the Korean Peninsula, which remains the "tip of the last iceberg of the Cold War."
Third, starting with this forum, we intend to promote the establishment of the tentatively named North-South Center in Jeju to contribute to the establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia and co-prosperity.
Fourth, the successful hosting of this forum is intended to provide an opportunity to hold it regularly every two years and establish it as a 'Davos Conference' for joint peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia.
Fifth, with this forum as an opportunity, we intend to explore a turning point that can materialize Jeju Island's international free city plan and emerge as a major base in Northeast Asia in the 21st century.
