Two Koreas will be reunified one day, says Kim Dae-Jung
North and South Korea will be reunified one day but not the same way Germany was 15 years ago, former South Korean president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-Jung said during a visit to Sweden on Tuesday. Speaking on the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Kim said the two Koreas would have to undertake a slow reunification process, preceded by an economic collaboration so that the North Korean economy could grow to the same level as its more prosperous southern neighbour. "The South Korean economy is not strong enough to bear the burden of the North Korean economy," Kim said following talks with Swedish Prime Minister Goeran Persson in comments reported in Swedish by local news agency TT.Posted by: Fred 2004-11-10 |
