The commemoration ceremony for the 10^th Anniversary of the World Peace Tunnel Foundation took place at The Plaza Hotel in Jeungu, Seoul, on the 26^th.

On this day, the launching celebration of the “Connecting the Roads of Peace – the Traces of Ten Years of the World Peace Tunnel Foundation” was also held simultaneously, adding even more significance to the event.

The event was attended by domestic and foreign guest, including Chairman of the Board Yun-Gi Choi of the World Peace Tunnel Foundation, President Yong-Hum Lee of Ilshin Design, KORAIL CEO  Yeon-Hye Choi, and the former Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Unification.

In his publication message, “Connecting the Roads of Peace – the Traces of Ten Years of the World Peace Tunnel Foundation,” Chairman Choi said, “The main point of the International Peace Highway plan is to construct undersea tunnels in areas that are cut off from the rest of the world, such as the Straits of Korea and the Bering Sea; and to connect North and South Korea with a railroad,” and further emphasized, “The Korea-Japan Tunnel can draw the two countries closer together, and the Bering Strait Tunnel is a path for America and Russia to completely resolve the Cold War and become one.”

President Yong-Hum Lee, who once held the post of Chairman of Board for the Foundation, said through his congratulatory message, “I am positive that the best answer to finding peace for humanity is the ‘Peace Road.’”

The World Peace Tunnel Foundation is a public organization under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and was founded in order to truly realize the “International Peace Highway” plan formulated by the President of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

It was founded under the name of Peace King International in 2005, and later changed its name to the Peace and Unification Foundation as it registered as a corporation in 2008, and soon after that  started using its current name.

This foundation has been developing various activities, such as digging a test tunnel and holding symposiums, in order to propel the International Peace Highway Project (Peace Road), which includes “constructing a tunnel between Korea and Japan,” “constructing a tunnel across the Bering Strait” and “connecting the Korean Peninsula with railroads.”
