Honorable former President and Mrs. Kim Dae-jung, your excellency Lim Chae-jung,
Speaker of the National Assembly, and tonight's speakers, Mr. Harn Yawnghwe,
Director of the Euro-Burma Office and Mr. Bertil Lintner, renowned journalist,
and distinguished guests!
Tonight's event is truly significant. We vividly remember the mass uprising
which took place in Burma last September. Though we do not have a clear picture
of what has happened, we understand numerous pro-democracy activists were arrested
and sacrificed. The United Nations and the conscientious across the world are
protesting against the Burmese military regime, and expressing their deep condolences
to the people of Burma who made noble sacrifices. At this critical juncture,
it is indeed significant to hold 'A Night for Democracy in Burma' in support
of Burma's democratization.
Distinguished guests!
We, Koreans have also long suffered under military dictatorships. Democracy
was nowhere to be found, and corruptions, violations of human rights were rampant.
However, we finally achieved peaceful transition of power and democracy.
During the process of democratization, we received strong support from so
many conscientious people across the world. We are well aware how much courage
and strength we could gain from such a strong support and encouragement. Korea
has now become an advanced country in terms of democracy and human rights, and
we can support people of other nations who are still suffering from dictatorships.
'A Night for Democracy in Burma' has been planned and prepared with strong
commitment of President Kim. He has been actively engaged in the activities
for Burma's democratization and release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest,
from the days of opposition leader, through his Presidency, and even to the
days after retirement. Whenever an opportunity arose, he announced protest letters
and statements denouncing the Burmese military regime, which reflected his firm
belief and commitment to democracy.
Remembering the noble spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to former President
Kim Dae-jung and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, I wish we all pray for freedom, peace
and democracy in Burma.
Last but not least, I would like to extend sincere gratitude to those who
did not spare their efforts in organizing and preparing today's event, including
members of the NLD-LA and the Burma Action who prepared tonight's performance,
and those at the Korean House for International Solidarity and the Kim Dae-jung
Peace Center.
