Seeds Will Grow

Cross-posting today’s 2023 Korea Peace Symposium hosted by the Korea Peace Appeal Campaign in South Korea, on the 70th anniversary of the 1953 armistice, which paused, but did not end the Korean War (source).

This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. But the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula is unprecedentedly high. During the symposium, we will revisit the unfinished Korean War and share the wisdom of various figures to find hope for peace again.
