Nam Sung U underscored the need to warn the U.S. and south Korean authorities of their policy of escalating the confrontation with the DPRK while increasing the danger of war and Japan of pursuing its hostile policy toward the DPRK while stepping up militarization without making apology and reparation for its past crimes. He called for building up fair public opinion conducive to achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia.

Ramsey Clark, former attorney general of the U.S., in a video letter said the Korean people suffered war disaster imposed by the U.S., and big powers are now posing military threats to the Korean Peninsula and East Asia.

A declaration was adopted at the seminar.

It called for working hard to pressurize the Japanese government to admit the legal blame for aggression and colonial domination and make an apology and reparation for them and to achieve peaceful reunification on the basis of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.
