Universal Peace Federation roept denktank 2022 Rally of Hope bijeen
Stappen naar vrede in Azië: focus op verzoening en samenwerking op het Koreaanse schiereiland
WENEN– (BUSINESS WIRE)– Een breed scala aan uitdagingen staat de opbouw van een stabiele en relatief vreedzame wereldorde voor de 21e eeuw in de weg. Recente gebeurtenissen in verband met de terugtrekking van de VS uit Afghanistan onderstrepen dit feit.
Van cruciaal belang voor de geopolitieke dynamiek van onze tijd is de aanhoudende crisis op het Koreaanse schiereiland, die Oost-Azië en de rest van de wereld treft. Hoewel inspanningen voor vrede een nieuwe oorlog in Noordoost-Azië hebben voorkomen, blijft het potentieel voor conflicten bestaan en zouden de VS, China, Rusland en Japan betrokken zijn. Het is tijd voor een nieuwe strategie voor verzoening en samenwerking op het Koreaanse schiereiland.

Of critical importance to the geopolitical dynamics of our time is the ongoing crisis on the Korean Peninsula, which impacts East Asia and the rest of the world. While efforts toward peace have prevented another war in Northeast Asia, the potential for conflict still remains and would involve the U.S., China, Russia, and Japan. It is time for a new strategy to move toward reconciliation and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula.

The theme of the Think Tank 2022 Rally of Hope is “Steps Toward Peace in Asia: Focus on Reconciliation and Cooperation on the Korean Peninsula.” Although the Armistice Agreement brought an end to the hostilities, the Korean Peninsula continues to be a “storm center” for peace and security in the region. World leaders will speak about the risks and opportunities of resolving issues on the Korean Peninsula and steps toward peace in Asia.
