김연철 통일부장관 오늘 취임... "경제를 고리로 한반도 평화 공고화해야"<br /><br />South Korea's new Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul says the key to building peace on the Korean Peninsula is the economy.<br />He was speaking today at his inauguration.<br />Take a look.<br />"In pushing for denuclearization and building peace, South and North Korea should find opportunities to co-prosper. We don't know when an opportunity like this will come again. I will work to strengthen a virtuous cycle in which we consolidate peace through the economy, and then in turn, enhance economic cooperation through peace."<br />The new minister added that the most important thing now is to take peace forward to the point where it cannot be reversed.<br />He stressed that inter-Korean relations will have to be institutionalized... so they aren't affected when administrations change. <br />
