Kims’ talk to get kith & kin together


IIPM, ADMISSIONS FOR NEW DELHI & GURGAON BRANCHES

The Koreans need to resolve their differences for a happy re-union

TheThree cheers for brotherhood & unity! leaders of North and South Korea, capitalising on progress made in the resolution of North’s nuclear imbroglio, plan to meet for the second-ever summit to iron out their differences. North Korean leader Kim Jong II will host South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun from August 28-30 in Pyongyang. Earlier during the first North-South summit, Kim had met the then-South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung in June 2000, also in Pyongyang. North and South Korea remain at war (at least technically) since the Korean War of 1953-54 ended in a ceasefire, & not as a peace treaty as widely perceived. Nevertheless, the earlier summit in 2000 coerced them to look forward on economic cooperation projects & stage reunions of thousands of relatives split by their shared border, which sadly is counted as the most heavily fortified & mine infested in the world. During the current summit, discussions might take place on a possible resolution of the 54-year-old cease-fire.

Pyongyang views the nuclear issue as a dispute solely with Washington, therefore it has refrained from getting into any confrontation with South Korea. Talking to B&E, Jeong Jae Sung, Political Editor of the Kim Jung Daily said, “The atmosphere of dialogue in N-Korea-US relations has been elevated after the departure of the Bush administration more than any other time. Meanwhile, N-Korea- China & North Korea-Russia relations have been speedily improving through economic cooperation.” With the Summit talks as a foothold; attention is being paid to getting North Korea into the international mainstream.

Still in the search of respite…


ARINDAM CHAUDHURI’S 4 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE IIPM...

Borrowed vision cannot save it...

Consistently Social safety nets is still incomplete here!retaining its place in the list of the ten most poorest countries of the world is Malawi. As per HDI 2006, about 65.3% of the people are below national poverty line & approximately 43% below the international poverty line.

Malawi is being macerated not just by poverty, huge debts, poor education & environmental problems but also by health problems like Tuberculosis which has evoked the need for a nick name called ‘The Big Cough’. The economical scenario is beleaguering big time with a per capita income of merely $600. Of the population consisting of 10 million people, 6.53 million people are poor in Malawi, about 90% stay in the tribal villages thereby earning their living through fishing, farming or through tobacco production, which also happens to be the country’s key agricultural source. Malawi garners 90% of its export earnings from agricultural goods & the its GNP owes 38% to agriculture, vindicating the overriding dependency on agriculture of this poverty ridden country. To worsen matters, the country is also witnessing a rise in number of HIV victims. Malawi’s economy is apparently following a steep downward sloping curve. Despite the retrogressive nature of the country, it would not be an overstatement to say that Malawi can still recuperate from its contemptible state. Apart from being the member of several international organisations, Malawi has always treaded the part of a pro-Western foreign policy. Apart from maintaining cordial relation with big names like the US, Canada, Germany, Ireland, the World Bank & IMF, Malawi is also focusing on community empowerment through the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, which was introduced in 2002. Along with the Malawi National Tuberculosis Control Programme, Fresh Water Project, Euthini Water & Sanitation Project etc are definite steps towards right direction, but then these intervention are too limited considering the depth of predicament. The transition would be challenging but then that’s how great nations are made.
