Currently, the Korean Peninsula is at a serious crossroads amid the deepening U.S.-China hegemony war. On August 19 last year, there was a declaration of Camp David at the Korea-U.S.-Japan summit. At that time, the leaders of the three countries, South Korea, the U.S. and Japan, expressed their support for the goal of the Republic of Korea's bold initiative and supported a free and peaceful unified Korean Peninsula," he said, adopting the Camp David Joint Declaration. On the other hand, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula by taking steps such as 'Removal of the Three Memorial Towers for the Reunification of the Fatherland' and 'Holding the North Korea-Russia Summit (September 12, 2023 and June 19, 2024)' and the Chinese government's 'Action for 100,000 North Koreans to return home'.

In order to speed up reunification, the government should issue a one-time temporary passport to North Korean defectors who cannot enter South Korea from China and provide pension assistance after a certain process so that they can be guaranteed for their future.

Joo Ho-young, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, said in his congratulatory speech, `It is all the more meaningful because it is a place where civil society leaders and North Korean defectors' organizations pledge solidarity and cooperation for a new free and unified Korea.' `As a pivotal country that protects the value of freedom despite numerous trials and tribulations and has a proud history of achieving industrialization and democratization in the ruins of war, we intend to put into practice with a great sense of responsibility and mission in front of history through solidarity and cooperation among citizens as a central country that contributes to the `freedom, peace, and prosperity of the global village.' (In this case), peaceful unification beyond ideology and political factions will be accelerated,' he said, congratulating the resolution.



Park Chung-kwon, a member of the People's Power, also said in a congratulatory speech that `The noble sacrifice of patriotic martyrs who were one of the citizens made today's Republic of Korea"I will try to open a new era of unification with North Korean defectors as the main agents of unification that came first."," he said, expressing his desire for unification.

"Just as we recorded the history of independence through the March 1st Movement, let's focus on the vision of realizing a unified Korean Peninsula that contributes to world peace, resolve conflicts between the South and the South first and realize a unified Korean Peninsula." To this end, those who practice unification predicted the hosting of the "2024 Korean Dream Unification Practice Agency" at 3 p.m. on September 28.

▶ Vision of the 'Korean Dream' in the spotlight as a citizen-led unification movement

The civic-led unification movement began in 2011 when Moon Hyun-jin, world chairman of the Global Peace Foundation, presented the vision of realizing a new unified state that contributes to world peace based on the spirit of the `Hongik Man' which is more than the founding of our people.

Led by leading the organizing committee'New Era Unification Song Campaign', they opened a new chapter in the unification culture movement with the production of new unification songs such as 'One Dream One Korea, songwriter Kim Hyung-seok, lyricist Kim In-na' △ 'Korean Dream,' sung by singers Pivo Bryson and Jeong Dong-ha △ 'One Dream, written and composed by Jimmy Jam N Lewis' by singer In-soon. It has also developed into the One K Global Campaign.

The unification culture led by the 'People practicing unification' led to the launch of the 'Korean Dream 10 Million Citizen Organizing Committee'. The civic organizing committee was launched in August 2022 to resolve the unification practice involving 10 million people by 2020 with about 20,000 people attending at KINTEX in Ilsan. At that time, participating groups and participants had a consensus that after passing 'Division 4th Generation', the unification of the two Koreas would be difficult due to a change in perspective on the reality of division. Therefore, we will achieve unification in our generationWith the aspiration of ', the active will to unite citizens was realized through the civic organization committee.
