6o Years Commemoration of the Armistice Agreement.

Upp in the DMZ with rememberance speeches from nowaday leaderhip. 

 

 

This year, but especially the weeks, and in specific the day, 27^th of July 1953, when the Armistice Agreement was signed this fact was commemorated.

The Korean politicians, - military and -people showed their appreciation to the Nations that helped them during the Korean War, but also to them who supported them keeping the Armistice. Sadly to obtain Peace between the countries isn’t on the table and the countries are even further away to be united. However, the Armistice Agreement has served them well!

During the past weeks the NNSC has been in a Drama documentary on National Korean TV and Anders as the Head of the Swedish Delegation was interviewed on TBS eFM 101.3 MHz. I was especially glad for that fact for this radio station, a 24-hour All English Radio Channel has been my main source of information, and many program they air I have enjoyed very much. (For all of you English knowledgeable citizens in Korea, I certainly recommend you too, to enjoy many of their shows)

So if you’re interested and have some time you’ll here find the link with the 30 minutes interview of Anders done by Walter Foreman hosting Inside Out, followed by a 30 minutes interview of the Norwegian Ambassador HE Torbjørn Holthe about the Norwegian role during the Korean War.

I believe it was good that the Armistice Agreement was highlighted for many younger Koreans do not know that still over twenty countries have been and still are supporting their country to have stability.
