Forum participants
Forum participants explore an art exhibit for the Mongolia Peace Park Tree-Planting Campaign
The 2026 Mongolia Forum, held under the theme “Northeast Asian Peace and Development and Korean Unification,” brought together parliamentarians, policymakers, scholars, and young leaders from across the region to explore how peaceful Korean unification can contribute to greater stability, cooperation, and shared prosperity in Northeast Asia.
Hosted by the Global Peace Foundation, Blue Banner, and Action for Korea United, the forum created space for dialogue on Korean unification, nuclear risk reduction, regional trust-building, and the role of civil society and youth in advancing peace.
Through panel discussions, workshops, cultural activities, and informal exchanges, participants explored practical pathways toward a free, peaceful, and prosperous Korean Peninsula while strengthening international cooperation around a shared vision for the region.
