a way of demonstration in the streets
Germany's ambassador to South Korea who
attended the event said German
unification was realized partly because
of musicians because they discovered new
spaces to celebrate together when the
wall came down he also shared what it
means for him to represent his country
in the only still divided nation in the
world I think there's no other nation
which can really appreciate what the
Koreans must be feeling at these times
of confrontation and division of a
nation and this is why from the bottom
of our heart we really hope that in the
not-too-distant future
the Koreans will be able to celebrate as

difficulties facing Korean people he
stressed the need to keep trying and I'm
confident that with the policy which has

and tried to establish a peace regime on
the Korean Peninsula we will overcome
these problems the Ambassador said South

people so that Koreans can work toward a
more peaceful and prosperous future MGL
