The key to the future of the Korean people is a shared vision for a reunified nation, founded upon universal principles and values that are embedded at the heart of Korea’s culture and history. Economic development and the investment to support it will be critical in achieving this vision.   The challenges that reunification will present call for significant innovations in Korea’s economic leadership. These issues need urgent attention, and it is the hope of the organizers of the Global Peace Economic Forum that deliberations will stimulate serious national discussion about the economic policies and financial structures required to realize the promise of Korea’s future.
