한반도의 통일·평화와 제주: 제주형 평화와 제주 도시외교 전략 The Role of Jeju, an Island of World Peace, for Peace and National Unification of Korean Peninsula |
영주홀 B Yeongju B |
The purpose of this session is to promote Jeju’s role for national unification and peace of the Korean peninsula. Since the Hanoi summit, North Korea has been reinforcing military provocations while emphasizing its nuclear power. There are even signs of a new Cold War due to the intensifying US-China strategic competition and the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. In this session, we would attempt to highlight Jeju's role as a leader and facilitator of peace discourse in South Korea. Moreover, we would seek to combine it with alternative approaches of urban diplomacy, which can complement traditional diplomacy. Since being designated as the Island of World Peace, Jeju has contributed much to the expansion of inter-Korean exchanges and played a leading role in innovative peace discourse. We hope that the discussions in this session will provide a breakthrough in the stalemate of the Korean peninsula. |
