S.Korean president says peace the top agenda of inter-Korean summit
Adjust font size:

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said Monday that peace arrangement on the peninsula is the top agenda of the upcoming inter-Korean summit meeting.

"Without confidence in peace, (the inter-Korean cooperation) on co-prosperity and unification would be meaningless. Furthermore, regional circumstances surrounding the peninsula, including the six-party talks on the settlement of the nuclear issue, have entered a wholly different phase," Roh said at an ceremony marking the 59th Armed Force Day.

Depending on the progress of Korean Peninsula peace talks, South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will begin to discuss way to enhance mutual military confidence, a Korean Peninsula peace treaty and inter-Korean disarmament, Roh said.

Roh is to travel to Pyongyang on Tuesday and hold summit meeting with DPRK top leader Kim Jong-il there. It will be the second inter-Korean summit in history. The last one was conducted in June 2000 by then South Korean President Kim Dae-jung.

"I will depart for Pyongyang tomorrow to hold summit talks with Chairman Kim Jong-il of the North (DPRK)'s National Defense Commission. Many issues will be on the agenda, but I'll prioritize the establishment of a permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula," Roh said.

The elimination of the confrontational order on the peninsula and the establishment of peace would be the nation's best security strategies, Roh said.
