S1-2 Evaluation and Meaning of the 50th Anniversary of the 7.4 Inter-Korean Joint Statement

KGFP Korea Global Forum for Peace 2022 • Theme: Evaluation and Meaning of the 50th Anniversary of the 7.4 Inter-Korean Joint Statement • Date & Time: August 30, 2022 (Tue) ┃11:00-12:30 (KST) • Organizer: Unification Council of Korea Since the division, the Republic of Korea has made efforts to achieve peaceful reunification on the Korean Peninsula. The two Koreas showed a confrontation between conflict and power rather than dialogue due to the Korean War and the North's armed provocations in the early days of the Park Chung-hee administration. In 1972, the authorities of the two Koreas decided to adopt the 7.4 Inter-Korean Joint Statement for the first time at the authorities level and make joint efforts to resolve the division of the Korean Peninsula through dialogue. In the 21st century, it is important to think and practice how the two Koreas will seek dialogue and cooperation for peace and eventual reunification on the Korean Peninsula under the new Cold War structure, such as value competition between the free and communist camps. I would like to find implications in the evaluation of the 7.4 inter-Korean joint statement marking the 50th anniversary.
