 It
is undoubtedly true that much of the current economic hardship has
been imposed by external conditions. But it is also an indubitable
fact that the Government and ruling forces are aggravating the crisis
by their undemocratic stance of turning a deaf ear to the voice
of the people and giving priority to serving the special interests
of the rich rather than attending to the pain of ordinary citizens.
At such a juncture we need to recall that a crucial reason for conferring
the first-ever Nobel Prize to a Korean was President Kim Dae-jung¡¯s
lifelong dedication to South Korean democracy. We must not tolerate
any attempt to reverse Korea¡¯s democratization, for which so many
citizens have suffered so much along with President Kim, and I am
certain that we shall prevail in the end.
Unlike
the economy, the deterioration throughout the year of inter-Korean
relations is all the more deplorable as it owes itself mostly to
South Korean government¡¯s policy choices precisely when external
conditions have become more favorable than ever. At a point when
President George W. Bush ended up changing his long-standing hardline
policy toward North Korea, and President-Elect Barack H. Obama is
promising an even more active diplomatic engagement with North Korea,
the Lee Myung-bak regime has turned away from opportunities for
common prosperity of the Peninsula by adopting an outdated policy
of confrontation and willful neglect toward the North. Here again
we ought to remind ourselves that the 2000 Nobel Peace Prize was
part of the worldwide support for the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration, and by mobilizing the nation¡¯s collective wisdom,
we should strive to induce our Government¡¯s change of policy and
North Korea¡¯s rational response.
Today¡¯s
speakers, Former Ambassador to Seoul James T. Laney, Professor Don
Oberdorfer of Johns Hopkins University, Professor Ito Narihiko from
Japan, and Korea¡¯s former Minister of Unification Lim Dong-won,
are all renowned for their concern for and expertise in the question
of peace on the Korean Peninsula. I would like to thank them in
advance for the valuable thoughts they will share with us. My gratitude
goes also to all the participants in this gathering, to my colleagues
on the Organizing Committee, and to the staff members of the Kim
Dae-jung Peace Center and Yonsei University¡¯s Kim Dae-jung Presidential
Library and Museum who have worked on the ground tirelessly to prepare
today¡¯s event.
Thank
you.
