The Jeju Provincial Assembly (Vice-chairperson: Kim Soon-taek) hosted the first Council Member Training in the second half of 2016 for council members in Jeju at Hanwha Resort in Jeju at 11 AM on August 20.

Executive Vice-chairperson Yoo Ho-yeol, who gave a special lecture titled “NUAC will prepare for the Unification of Koreas” in the training, stressed that unification cannot be achieved unless we change the following three general misconceptions: North Korea will not give up nuclear bombs; change in North Korea is unrealizable, and; unification is necessary, but the odds are slim. Executive Vice-chairperson Yoo encouraged the council members to be proactive for the unification of the Korean Peninsula and dismantling of the North Korean Nuclear program with an “I can do” spirit.

Following the lecture, a special lecture by experts was presented by Dr. Kwak In-su, who stressed that freedom and peace as well as democracy should not be taken for granted while explaining the “Recent Affairs and Strategies of North Korea against South Korea.” Finally, Professor Kim Young-soo from Sogang University gave a lecture titled “Future Vision of Unification and Our Roles,” wherein he asserted that unification will come only when we understand North Korea fully and only when North Korean residents want unification. He also explained the importance of cultivating hope for unification and ensuring specialization in unification.
