The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari says Nigeria will support efforts to bring peaceful resolution and reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula.
This was contained in a statement issued by Special Adviser to the President, Femi Adesina, the statement said Buhari virtually attended the Summit organised by the Universal Peace Federation.
Buhari discussed many during the opening of World Summit 2022, themed, ‘Reconciliation and Peace in the Korean Peninsula, through Multi Sectorial Peace Building Initiatives in Asia and Worldwide.
He said the Korean peninsula has been a flashpoint of conflict, lingering many decades and therefore deserves the attention of world leaders for a peaceful resolution.
”The Korean situation as defined by its history and geography is unique in the sense that as the only nation in the Asia-Pacific region that remains divided since the cold war era, peace on the Korean peninsula has far-reaching implications to the region, if not to the world at large.
”The Nigerian Government encourages and supports every effort to promote understanding and a commitment to peace among the governments and people of both Koreas; and has for a long time, maintained relations with them at ambassadorial level.
”We have enjoyed cordial relations with both Koreas in trade and commerce, education, cultural exchange, and technology transfer.
