Unification is not our present goal. That is a future program.
From Kim Dae Jung
And also, we are providing, you know, a nuclear power plant in the north, two light water systems, so some 4 or 5 billion dollars we are providing to meet with North Korean requests on the condition North Korea will not produce a nuclear weapon.
American presence is, you know, the major cause of balance of power and the stability in this region.
Unification is one thing, and stability in Northeast Asia is another thing.
You know, North Korea situation is far worse than East Germany, and South Korea is weaker than West Germany.
Well, that is very imperative to let North Korea open door to outside.
So in Asia I want to make - I want to succeed to make a model of what success, practicing democracy, and market economy. Then that will give a good influence over Asian countries.
If America would withdraw from South Korea, there could be a power struggle between such as China and Japan.
To realize peace on the Korean peninsula, and to develop exchange, cooperation between both Koreas, they are the, you know, immediate target of our government.
There is some sign that North Korea is changing recently. There is ongoing successful negotiation to have a military talk to Pyongyang, which has been stopped for seven years.
