However, two Korean countries has never any momentum of peace and reunification after the brutal Korean was in 1950~1953.
The death of December 17 of North Korean leader Kim Jong-ll and his replacement by his son Kim Jong-Un have relaunched debate in S. Korea about the chance of reunification.
Lee also described the country’s ambitions in the Arctic, as Seoul eyes the opeing routes, the AP news reported.
