Peace and Reconciliation Ministries for the Korean Peninsula
Recent reports of an impending nuclear test in
Kiju, North Korea reflect the nuclear crisis of
North Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (the DPRK). While the United States
pushes for the resumption of the six-nation
talks, China is reportedly opposed to putting
any pressure on North Korea for such talks or
applying sanctions against the country. In the
current tension-driven situation, the advocacy
and reconciliatory role of the General Board of
Global Ministries (GBGM) has been important for
peace in the Asia Pacific Region.

Toward Peace Reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula
