The East Asia Institute based in Seoul held a "New Millennium Dorasan Lecture Series on Peace and Human Security" in 2005 as part of its effort to raise public consciousness on international peace and environmental preservation. The speaker publicly gave a "Message of Peace and Human Security" at Dorasan, South Korea’s northern most railway station located only seven hundred meters from the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone, when all nations yearn for a peaceful resolution of North Korean nuclear crisis. The year 2005 was a turning point, with North Korea agonizing between its options of dialogue and confrontation. For the two Koreas, 2005 had an additional special meaning. The year was the sixtieth anniversary of national division and the fifty-fifth anniversary of the Korean War.
