Dong-yeon Kim “6th anniversary of the Panmunjeom Declaration… Gyeonggi Province takes the lead in promoting greater peace”

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon celebrated the 6th anniversary of the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration in 2018 and said, “Gyeonggi Province will take the lead in promoting greater peace.”

Governor Kim attended the 6th anniversary ceremony of the ‘4/27 Panmunjom Declaration’ held at the National Assembly Library Auditorium in Yeouido, Seoul on the afternoon of the 26th, and gave a welcoming speech, saying, “We will go beyond the political and military peace stages and create a path to peace between classes, ecology, climate, and generations.” “Gyeonggi Province will lead the way,” he said.

Governor Kim said, “I was very happy and very moved when the Panmunjom Declaration was made six years ago. If I were to put it in one word, ‘why is that so?’ it would be because peace is economics.” Governor Kim was the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs under the Moon Jae-in administration at the time of the Panmunjom Declaration.

Governor Kim continued, “President Yoon Seok-yeol recently said, ‘We will eliminate the Korea Discount through tax cuts and easing tax regulations on stock transactions.’ In a broadcast interview around the same time, he said, ‘(President Yoon) properly understands the Korea Discount. “I don’t know if it exists,” he said, emphasizing that “the Korea Discount can be discussed by combining the fundamentals of our economy, inter-Korean relations, and leadership risks.”

Governor Kim said, “The big dream of North Korea policy is fading now,” and “Our dream is to ensure that there will never be war in this land again, and to create a new economic map for the Korean Peninsula and take the path to economic prosperity in Seoul.” “We will be able to travel from Europe to Europe by rail, and we will be the drivers,” he said.

Governor Kim said, “I think political leaders should have the courage to realize such imagination and dreams,” and added, “I will make sure that Gyeonggi Province takes the lead in conceiving and creating the vision of a dream for the new Korean Peninsula.”

Governor Kim cited the fact that Seo Taiji and Boys’ ‘Dreaming of Balhae’ was included as event music during the inter-Korean summit six years ago, and said, “The lyric line ‘We lose ourselves in the time of hesitation’ touches my heart. This song again. “I promise to work together to create an opportunity to create and see good progress,” he said.

At the inter-Korean summit held at Panmunjom in April 2018, then-President Moon Jae-in and North Korean Workers’ Party Secretary-General Kim Jong-un and the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission announced a joint declaration containing the following: △Establishment of an inter-Korean joint liaison office, △connection of railways and roads, △cessation of hostile acts, and △denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. .
