Lee Byung-hwa, Head of UPF Jeonnam Branch, "I Will Play a Leading Role in Achieving Peaceful Unification Success"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Lee Byunghwa, head of the Jeonnam branch of the 4th District of the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), held an inauguration ceremony on the 13th at the Jeonnam Unification Hall in Naju, Jeonnam.

About 90 people attended the event, including District Chairman Lee Sangjae, Chairman Song Gwangseok of the National Alliance for North-South Unification Movement, and Jeonnam Diocese Head Song Jeongseop. Lee Byunghwa, head of the Jeonnam branch, expressed his inauguration remarks, saying, “I will do my best to play a leading role starting from Jeonnam, the edge of the Korean Peninsula, to achieve the success of peaceful unification.”

He pledged, “We will carry out peaceful North-South unification movements suited to the non-face-to-face era through online platforms such as Zoom or YouTube, and develop practical unification movements on-site based on the nationwide unification ideology.”

He continued, “Korean society is currently facing a crisis due to the entrenchment of the North-South division, deepening conflicts between classes and regions, and the collapse of social foundational communities. However, we will take this as an opportunity and actively promote family participation movements and peace unification movements in the region based on the global diverse foundations of UPF co-founder and President Han Hakja, who is presenting new hope.”

District Chairman Lee Sangjae said, “The unification movement of the National Alliance for North-South Unification Movement, established in 2005 to welcome the era of New Unified Korea, is a UPF organization with the highest status in the UN Economic and Social Council, gathering global peace movements and capabilities for Korean Peninsula unification. We must never forget our pride in this,” and encouraged, “I hope the Jeonnam branch, united around the newly inaugurated head Lee Byunghwa, will lead the way in fully opening the era of New Unified Korea.”
