‘The World Congress for Korean Politics and Society.’ The 2019 World Congress
will be held from June 24(Mon) to June 26(Wed) at Konkuk University Seoul

politics and international relations. </font></b></p><font color="#000000" face="굴림" size="3">

and the establishment of sustainable peace. However, there are still signs of
polarization and distrust in both domestic and international relations that
pose serious challenges to achieving a robust and lasting peace. </span>This

the world to propose new insights that advance peace and prosperity in the
Korean Peninsula and beyond.</b></font></font></font></p><font color="#000000" face="굴림" size="3">
