What role do you think the ROK-U.S. alliance plays in the unification of Korea?

ย 

Last Monday (September 26), Tai-sik Lee, former South Korean ambassador to the U.S., gave a lecture on โ€œThe ROK-U.S. Alliance and Unification Diplomacy.โ€ Mr. Lee spoke about the historical background in establishing the ROK-U.S. alliance as well as its implications for Korean unification. Mr. Lee also shared his personal stories that he experienced while serving as a South Korean ambassador to the U.S. during the Bush administration.ย 

ย 

He emphasized that the South Korean government should take an active role in making strategies for Korean unification rather than simply relying on the ROK-U.S. alliance and consistently push them forward in order to get support, cooperation and agreement from surrounding countries.ย 

ย 

Due to the national holiday, we will skip lecture next week (Oct. 3). On October 10 (Mon), Gyu Hyeong Lee, former South Korean ambassador to China, will deliver a lecture on โ€œThe Role and Tasks of China for Unification Diplomacy.โ€ย
