Everyone is warmly invited to a public forum on the struggle for peace,
security and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula on the occasion
of the 19th anniversary of the historic June 2000 North-South Joint
Declaration signed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)
and the Republic of Korea (ROK).
This forum is taking place in the context of recent developments,
including the Panmunjom Declaration between the DPRK and ROK in April
2018, and the subsequent DPRK-U.S. Summits in Singapore in June 2018
and in Hanoi in February 2019. These developments have created the
potential for a new era of peace on the Korean Peninsula and
normalization of relations between the DPRK and the U.S. by
establishing a process of reciprocal steps to end the past history of
hostility and confrontation. However, progress toward a solution based
on mutual interest has been blocked by the insistence of the U.S. side
on unilateral demands for the dismantling of the legitimate defence
capacity of the DPRK.
