The Korean American Public Action Committee (KAPAC) actively
supports the U.S.-North Korea Joint Statement signed at the Singapore U.S.-DPRK
(Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) Summit on June 12th between President
Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un. We welcome the prospect of ending over
70 years of antagonism between the U.S. and North Korea. We firmly believe that
this is the start of a new era of peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.
The South and North Korean peace initiatives over the
PyeongChang Winter Olympics led to the historic April 27 Inter-Korean Summit
between ROK (Republic of Korea) and DPRK, producing the Panmunjom Declaration
in which the two Koreas declared that there would be no more war on the Korean
Peninsula. The United States and President Donald Trump generously welcomed and
embraced this initiative by meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un at the Singapore
Summit. Through the June 12th Joint Statement, the U.S. and North Korea promised
to work together to promote peace, prosperity, and security.
We support President Moon Jae-in's commitment to peace on
the Korean Peninsula. We support Chairman Kim Jong Un’s will to improve
inter-Korean and U.S.-DPRK relations. And we support President Donald Trump’s
determination to achieve the peace and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
through diplomacy. Their concerted efforts will create a permanent peace regime
on the Korean Peninsula as well as in Northeast Asia, adding to world peace and
prosperity.
The Korean American Public Action Committee (KAPAC) welcomes
and supports the three leaders in this critical endeavor. We urge them to
promptly implement the agreements to ensure and realize the vital goals. In
this, we hope that the declaration of the end of the Korean War and the signing
of a peace treaty take place as early as possible to lay the foundation for the
subsequent building of a sustainable peace regime.
Finally, we also urge the South Korean National Assembly and
the United States Congress to welcome and support such efforts for peace on the
Korean Peninsula and the world in a bipartisan way. All KAPAC members, along
with 2.5 million Korean Americans, support our leaders in achieving peace and
prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.
