Seeds Will Grow

This was the September 2025 session of the Korea Peace Study Group, which occurs virtually, on the second Friday evening of the month, USA time.

Dae-Han Song from the International Strategy Center shared with us about APEC, very timely as South Korea is hosting the APEC Forum and Leader’s Summit in October.

The Korean War, the cause of the unended militarization on the Korean Peninsula, has not ended. American citizens can urge our government to end this war and return sovereignty to the Korean people. One way to do this is by supporting the “Peace on the Korean Peninsula” bill in Congress (H.R. 1841). Contact your member of Congress today about the Peace on the Korean Peninsula bill.
