A year ago, the South Korean town of Pyeonchang was hosting the Winter Olympics.
And this weekend, to expand on that its legacy, which brought the two Koreas together as a team,... it hosted a global forum on peace... where experts from around the world are exchanging ideas that'll hopefully go beyond the Korean Peninsula.
Our Won Jung-hwan reports from Pyeongchang.
On day two of the forum, experts in the field are reviewing different cases from around the world... and the prospects for peace. And until the forum ends tomorrow, they'll be looking for ways to end confrontations and build a sustainable future together.

At the Pyeongchang Global Peace forum, there are more than 500 people from 50 countries and 200 organizations. It's divided into 6 substantive sessions in which participants can share their experiences and discuss common issues and challenges that will be part of the framework of next year's Pyeongchang Agenda for Peace 20-30.
The 6 sessions cover a range of global issues including disarmament, poverty, gender and human rights.
Each topic is covered in-depth by experts in the field to come up with promising and long-standing agendas in the name of Peace.

One expert, who modertated one of the sessions, says this kind of forum will play a key role in structuring global policy for peace.


"Gathering at this forum is incredible because it gathers experts from academia and governments across the regions, and the way they can inform the policy makers are very important. I know for sure that politicians listen to what comes out from the dialogue and discussions like this."

The 3-day global forum will end tomorrow, drafting a framework that will eventually be adopted as the official Pyeongchang agenda for peace 20-30.
