동북아의 평화를 위한 교류 활성화와 튼튼한 가교를 구축하겠습니다
We will increase exchange and build a strong bridge for peace in Northeast Asia Happy New Year of 2014 to all of you who are giving unstinting support and love to the Northeast Asian History Foundation! This year marks exactly the 120th year since 1894 that saw the Sino-Japanese War and the 1894 Reform, and its significance is immense. One hundred and twenty years ago, Korea failed to achieve reform by its own will due to the invasion of the imperial powers. Sixty years later, in 1954, Korea was left in the ruins and dreaming of reconstruction in the immediate aftermath of the Korean War.

Peace in Northeast Asia and History Education What is the solution to historical and territorial conflicts in Northeast Asia? On November 14, 2013, at the founding ceremony of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy (KNDA), President Park Geun-hye proposed the publication of common textbooks on Northeast Asian history as one of the ways toward peaceful cooperation and prosperity in Northeast Asia. The next day, the Japanese Minister of Education (MEXT) Hakubun Shimomura expressed his welcome to this proposal. At the Korea-Japan Parliamentarians' League general meeting held in Tokyo soon thereafter, the members of the parliament of both countries also agreed to urge their respective governments to work toward the publication of common textbooks. It can be said that general consensus has been reached, at least between Korea and Japan, about publishing common textbooks.

동북아 공동역사교재 발간의 필요성과 과제
The Necessity and Challenges of Publishing Common Textbooks on Northeast Asian History Rising to the East Asia's challenge of overcoming conflicts over historical perception and territory, and the legacies of colonial rule and the Cold War, historians and civil-society organizations in Korea, China, and Japan have published common auxiliary history textbooks, such as The History That Opens the Future, through voluntary historical dialogue. Reports on the Korea-Japan and China-Japan Joint History Research Committees as government channels have been published, but President Park Geun-hye's proposal on November 14, 2013 to publish common textbooks on Northeast Asian history is highly significant in that she was the first among the heads of the three states to make such a proposal. In support of her proposal, the Foreign Ministry of China expressed their wish that "Japan will take a truthful and faithful attitude toward the related matters." And President of Peking University Wang Enge (王恩哥) said that "universities in Asia should take the initiative and consider writing the textbooks together (Chuson Ilbo, December 7). The Japanese government was initially negative about the proposal, but they changed their position just one day later, welcoming and recognizing the common textbooks as important contributors to building a peaceful East Asian community.

서예가 추사(秋史) 김정희(金正喜): 19세기 동아시아 지성(知性)을 말하고 일국 너머의 해내신교(海內神交)를 이루다
Calligrapher Chusa (秋史) Kim Jung-hee (金正喜): Speaking of 19th-Century Asian Intellect and Enjoying Fellowship with Chinese Scholars "Making friends with face rather than heart is acquaintance, and making friends with heart rather than face is fellowship. Given a friendship with a true heart, a place millions of miles away would feel like the yard of your own house, and times millions of years apart would feel like from morning to evening. So why obsessed with knowing faces and the interval between getting together and scattering?" From Yeosuseokchon (輿帥石村) by Hong Gyeong-Mo

What is the significance of China's and Korea's declaration of Air Defense Identification Zones? Q : Why did China declare the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone? On November 23, 2013, China declared the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone. According to the identification rules announced by the Chinese government, "all aircraft" intending to enter the zone are required to file flight plans with the Chinese authorities beforehand, and have "radio communications equipment" in place for identification. A spokesman for China's defense ministry stated that "the establishment of the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone is a strategic decision in accordance with China's current national security situation. It's hard for China to identify unidentified flying objects with high-speed flying capabilities and adopt countermeasures immediately. The air defense identification zone was established to guard against potential air threats by allowing the country to identify, monitor, and control entering aircraft, and with aims of protecting China's state sovereignty and territorial and airspace security. It is a necessary measure in China's exercise of self-defense rights".
