Unbelievable. I was denied entry into South Korea. The Asiana Airlines agent at Honolulu International Airport informed me that after speaking with ROK immigration, they were not permitted to print my ticket. I’m supposed to keynote at an intl youth peace summit in Paju.

70 years since the Korean War Armistice Agreement, the threat of escalation is growing amidst rising geopolitical tensions, increased nuclear risk & eroding respect for international norms.

We need a surge in diplomacy for peace.

[GPPAC Northeast Asia @gppacnea]

Our thanks to Ambassador @boldlu for welcoming our @GPPAC delegation of peacebuilders from #NortheastAsia as part of the #UlaanbaatarProcess at the @MngEmbBrussels today! It was a wonderful chance to discuss Mongolia’s diplomatic initiatives relating to #dialogue & #disarmament.

What a time to be in South Korea this week to screen Crossings. We’ve screened it in Imjingak, Seoul and Cheorwon and the response has been overwhelming. The Korean people want peace, not more war. @POTUS please stop sending warships and engage North Korea now. #endkoreanwar

[제77주년 광복절🇰🇷]

일제로부터 빛을 되찾은 날이라 하여 '광복절'로 불리는 8월 15일, 하지만 3년만에 분단이라는 쓰라린 상처를 경험했습니다.

최근 사드 기지와 한미연합훈련 정상화 방침을 밝힌 한국 정부, 진정한 '광복'을 위한 정책 전환이 필요한 시점입니다.

The US and South Korea are set to conduct large-scale military exercises this month, which are likely to heighten tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Urge your Member of Congress to support peace, not military threats.

South Korean groups held a press conference near the Blue House yesterday calling for the suspension of the combined US-ROK military exercises.

Wow, thank you @DrJohnSPark and @CNASdc for calling on the Biden admin to forge a new path with North Korea by ending the Korean War and easing sanctions. So glad to see more voices recognizing that maximum pressure has failed.

North Korea recently conducted four missile launches to further bolster their self-defense against the US’ “hostile policy.” In response, the Biden admin imposed more sanctions against Pyongyang and called on the UN Security Council to impose even more. 🧵 https://t.co/MQkotxFvPV
