2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement. Also, it has been 20 years since DPRK declared to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as a result of which the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula emerged as a serious problem. In addition, every country of the Six-Party Talks launches a new government during this year.

Given the significance of 2013, we hope this workshop will help build momentum for turning the armistice system into a permanent peace regime in Korea and give a boost to the discussion on a Northeast Asia NWFZ which would necessarily include the solution to the nuclear problem of North Korea. Also, this workshop, held in the heart of Europe, offers an especially valuable opportunity to learn from the precedent of peace-building in Europe, notably the strategies that were helpful in overcoming the Cold War. We believe that now is the time to make this discussion one of the key subjects of disarmament and non-proliferation negotiations including the NPT review process.
