Neighbors and Unification Against Unification Against Unification Agree on condition 1. Chinese Influence ↓ 2. Refugee Problem 3. American Influence ↑ 1. Korean Influence ↑ 2. Economic Advantage 3. American Influence ↓ 1. Chinese Conflict 2. American Influence ↑ 3. Absorbing Unification

Lessons from Germany European Union first, unification of Germany later Create Peaceful atmosphere History is a history, but diplomacy should be continued Need to get support and cooperation from neighbors Impossible is nothing Historical conflict is important but should not stop negotiation or 외교채널

What should we do? No one wants ‘unification of Korea’ (maybe even South & North Korea) Northeast Asia Union first, unification of Korea second. Unification is needed to move to next stage.
