The 9th President of South Korea Roh Moo Hyun, who took over the office from 2003 to 2008, had  introduced ‘Peace and Prosperity policy’ . This policy was actually the thing that succeeded to ‘Sunshine Policy’ of president Kim Dae Jung.

In the policy,  President Roh argued that  peace from the security aspect and prosperity from the economic aspect are actually interrelated and interconnected. This means that tey actually complement and strengthen each other.

Therefore, in this context, President Roh Moo Hyun had promoted the Mount Geumgang tour, the operation of the Gaesong Industiral Complex operation and Arms reduction.

Another important important point from President Roh’s  Peace and Prosperity policy is that solution of problem can be done through conversation. Hence, this had showed President Roh willingness to conduct conversation with North Korea, even though inter-korean relation had  deteriorated at that point of time.
