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the Lee Myung-bak regime has turned away from opportunities for common prosperity of the Peninsula by adopting an outdated policy of confrontation and willful neglect toward the North.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.
