In 1995, when I visited the region in China that borders North Korea, I witnessed the devastating famine in North Korea. Starting off with a campaign urging for humanitarian aid to North Korea, I have since been providing humanitarian aid within North Korea, support for North Korean refugees in China, and help to North Korean defectors to settle in South Korea. While carrying out these activities, I have learned that the underlying issues cannot be fundamentally resolved without first resolving the security issues of North Korea. Also, since the Korean peninsula is still under armistice, I believe that there must never be another war on the Korean Peninsula, and a permanent peace should be established. This would also contribute to global peace including peace in the Northeast Asia region. As a result, I have been involved in various activities aimed at establishing peace on the Korean peninsula and promoting the improvement of inter-Korea and North Korea-U.S. relations.
