At the “Korea-US-Japan International Collegiate Symposium to Promote World Peace and the Peaceful Reunification of the Korean Peninsula” held at the Yeouido Parliamentary Library in Seoul, the Unification Korea Federation Chairman Kwang-Seuk Song, and students from Korea, United States and Japan, held hands singing ‘Our Hope.’”

In his welcoming remarks, CARP President Sang-Pil Moon said, “In the face of the summit between Korea and the US, this is a meaningful place where young people from Korea, America and Japan gather together to discuss about the peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula”.

A right-wing party member Yong-Tae Kim emphasized in his congratulatory speech that "the Korean Peninsula is becoming the world's biggest powder keg as North Korea develops nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). For peace and unification on the Korean peninsula, not only do we need efforts from the government of Korea, US and Japan, but also the efforts of the people, and most importantly, the interests and efforts of the students."

Anomura Akinori (23, Kyunghee University, Dept. of Political Science and Diplomacy, a junior), a representative of Japan, said, “In order to unify North and South Korea, communication is important.
