Miracles do happen

The historic meeting and the follow up signing is nothing short of a miracle considering the events that preceded the meeting.

Ok, the meeting is over, the deal is done. What is the deal? It is heavily discussed in the media. It was surprising that at the time it was signed very little was known about the contents and the TV announcers were using words like 'something' was signed.

It appears the wording is still broad, and it is said to be 'Complete'. One must wait and see how it turns out. Our hopes are that it will result in lasting peace and scenes of Hiroshima, Chernobyl and Fukushima are just nightmares from which we woke up.

Here are some pictures taken on that day from a TV screen with a Microsoft Lumia phone. Watch the body language and the emotions on the faces.

 If you missed the signing, here it is.

The Signing

History made at Panmunjom

Once in a long while you get some good news. The peace treaty between North and South Koreas is one such event. It gladdens the heart of one who loves peace and bringing together of people who share language, history, emotion and nature.

Indeed, history was made at Panmunjom. We all hope it brings lasting peace, not the words on a piece of paper but one that is enduring and everlasting.

What could be more comprehensive is to have a treaty between all the major players in that region, North Korea, South Korea, China and Japan. That would be the best thing that can happen. Who knows, it may indeed in a not distant future.

Here are snapshots from around the World. I think the leaders of both Koreas must be congratulated. We also look forward to the much-anticipated meeting between leaders of North Korea and the United States of America.
