November 27, 2007 (LPAC)--"These railway systems, which would be either railway or magnetic levitation, would now unite the land-masses, efficiently, for economic development internally. This coincides with a recent development, which many of us have wished for, in settlement between the relations between the two parts of Korea. Because the reunification of Korea, in functional terms, economic terms, means that the population will be changed there, and the most key thing is a railway system. As most of you know, the railway system of Korea, before division, was like a yoke: It ran up from the south, and it divided in the area of about the division of Korea into two parts: One line went to China, one line went to Russia, of the same system.
"Those lines are now being reunified, which means there will be a fundamental change."
-Lyndon LaRouche- China Unification Summit
To the demise of the British Empire, North and South Korea, after two summits, which occurred in October and November, have begun the formal ending of the 1953 armistice and furthered the construction of joint physical economic projects. Although, still officially at war, the North Korean military has made known that it will fully cooperate to finally bring this "armistice regime" to an end, and called on the South Korean military for joint work to finally, formally end the Korean War after 57 years, Yonhap news service reported today.
They will soon be holding their first Defense Ministry talks in seven years, at Pyongyang, which will become crucial for the train service, opening on December 11, linking South Korea, to the Gaeseong joint industrial complex, being built north of the border and running through the heavily armed border area. The military discussions are being led by South Korean Defense Minister Kim Jang Soo and Vice Marshal of the [North] Korean People's Army, Kim Il Chol.
South Korea's Hyundai Research Institute has estimated that the transport and other economic agreements reached by the recent November 14-16 discussions, between South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck Soo and North Korean Prime Minister Kim Yong Il, will make a big contribution to reducing the cost of reunification. The economic gap (the South Korean economy is estimated by Bloomberg news to be some 35 times bigger than the North's) is the biggest challenge to reunification of the two countries. Other projects agreed upon, besides the military talks, by the two Prime Ministers, are the Gaeseong-Sinuiju railroad, which links North Korea to China, the Gaeseong-Pyongyang expressway, and investment in ship building plants in North Korea.
Also, on November 22, the Northern Korean Central News Agency announced that Russia and North Korea are ready to start reconstruction of their cross-border rail link; an agreement that has been under discussion between the two nations since 2001 and was originally laid in World War II, for the Soviet battle against Japan, and have remained in use. Russian officials have visited the area, to survey the 55-km rail line between the North Korean port of Rajin and Khasan in Russia.
The only current hindrance to these breakthroughs, is the continued failure of the U.S. Congress to adopt Lyndon LaRouche's "New Bretton Woods" program and end the insanity of the British Empire's world of globalization.
