Jonathan Lee, 13-year-old American-born boy, recently paid a sanctioned visit to one of the most closed countries in the world: North Korea.
He spent eight days there, and proposed a plan for a “children’s peace forest” in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Although he had hoped to meet with Kim Jong Il, a meeting never happened, but Lee left feeling positive about future Korean relations.
“On this trip, I discovered that both sides want reunification and that Korea is one, so I see hope on the Korean peninsula,” Lee told the Associated Press.
Lee also said that officials said that in order for his forest idea to bear fruit, the North Korea and the U.S. would have to first sign a peace treaty officially ending the war.
