International Conference Stresses Achievements of German Unification

On Wednesday, April 8th, 2010 the Korean Institute for National Unification (KINU) held a conference celebrating its 19th Anniversary and commemorating the 20th year of the German Unification titled: “20 years after German Unification and the Vision for Unification on the Korean Peninsula”.

Among a few distinguished Korean speakers the German Ambassador, Hans-Ulrich Seidt and Walter Klitz, the local Representative of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Liberty in Seoul, were invited to address a high-ranking audience and point out the geopolitical accomplishments and socio-economic achievements of German unity.

Mr. Klitz, due to his excellent contacts to decision-makers within North Korea, frequent discussions inside the reclusive state and his expertise as active player engaged in the process of German unification, is frequently invited by KINU for public lectures. In his speech he pointed out the natural rights of every human being, such as the right of life, liberty, possession and the pursuit of happiness, that 16 million Germans recaptured in 1990.
