The KAPAC Statement for The Korean Peninsula Peace Process


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.
