A trip to South Korea

Report by Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of
Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space

This trip report covers the period of April 13-20, 2010 travelling to Seoul, South Korea to attend the Global Network’s (GN) 17th annual space organizing conference.

One of out of four families in South Korea has relatives in the North. Thus the drive for peaceful reunification of the country is deep in the hearts of the people. Unfortunately, the U.S. is expanding its military presence in South Korea and trying to drive the two nations further apart, while 60% of South Koreans want American bases closed and the troops to leave the country.
