Over 70 years after the division, we have made various efforts to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula. The method was largely political or sociological. But it didn't do as well as expected. If we are not getting the results we expect, we need to try different ways. I would like to talk about other ways to bring peace to the Korean Peninsula, not through political compromises or social communication between the two Koreas, but through common economic prosperity. The estuary of the Tumen River can be cited as a place where countries related to peace on the Korean Peninsula can pursue common prosperity. Geopolitically, it is an area where the United States, Russia, China, Japan, and North and South Korea meet. Economically, it is an area where each country thinks there is an opportunity to promote its own interests. In addition, in terms of population density, education level of population, and infrastructure for economic development, it is an area that has a lot of potential for common prosperity. At the mouth of the Tumen River, I propose a "United Nations City" in which China, North Korea, South Korea, Russia, and the United States (Japan) build their own cities and connect them linearly. Each city will create synergy under mutual cooperation. The greater the economic value the city produces, the stronger the peace on the Korean Peninsula will be. ‘The duck laying the golden egg’ will protect peace on the Korean Peninsula.
