Promoting Peaceful Reunification of Korea

Educational Programs: International conferences for scholars and political leaders increase understanding of political, economic, nuclear, and humanitarian issues. Seminars on Korean reunification for university students from the North and South have been held in China. Educational programs in Japan and Korea bring together divided Korean residents affiliated with both North and South.

Reunification Rallies: Korean residents living in Japan travel to Korea to join reunification rallies and to call on governments to hasten their efforts to end five decades of separation.

Joint Business Ventures: Pyonghwa (Peace) Motors Inc. opened in the North Korean city of Nampo in 2002. It assembles two models of cars, providing employment for North Korean workers. Meanwhile, the affiliated Botonggang Hotel in Pyongyang hosts a growing number of international groups.
