The Korea
Global Foundation (KGF) led by Rhee Tshang-chu, professor of St. Petersburg
State University, said that the 15th World Korean Forum, an annual forum hosted
by the organization, will be held June 23-24 in the Mongolian capital.

The
participants will discuss ways to facilitate the stability and unification of
the Korean Peninsula at the National University of Mongolia during the three
sessions of the two-day forum.

Experts will
discuss issues related to unification of the two Koreas, the Cold War-like
relationships among the key powers — namely the United States, China and Japan
— on the Korean Peninsula, and possible cooperation with countries in the
Eurasian region.

Previous
forums were held in Vancouver, Manila, Sydney and Brussels.

In a press
release circulated last week, Chairman Rhee of the KGF noted that holding the
forum in Mongolia is meaingful in that the two ethnic groups share a lot in
common and have maintained close relationships over the past 1,000 years.

Unification
has become a buzzword after President Park Geun-hye said in a speech early this
year that unification of the two Koreas would be a bonanza.

Park said
that South and North Korea would benefit if they are reunified. Recently, she
proposed that South and North Korea work together to improve human rights
condition of the North, to increase people-to-people exchanges, and to develop
North Korea’s natural resources.
