Although it was later branded a failure by critics, his aides and a son say the Singapore summit could make his dream a reality: lasting peace on the Korean peninsula.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMy father would be extremely delighted if they take steps to realise a permanent peace regime, an opportunity he missed by a hair\u2019s breadth,\u201d said Kim Hong-gul, his youngest son who currently heads the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, a coalition of about 200 civic groups working on inter-Korean peace.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThat would complete his lifetime mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The policy is named after Aesop\u2019s fable about the sun and the wind competing to remove a traveller\u2019s coat and how the man wrapped the coat tightly around him in a blustery wind but threw it off when sun shone on him. The principle of Kim Dae-jung\u2019s Sunshine policy was that persuasion was better than force, and that engagement through dialogue and economic and cultural exchanges would bring about a change in the North and foster peace between the two Koreas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kim Dae-jung won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 for the first-ever inter-Korean summit since the 1950-53 Korean War with Kim Jong Il, the late father of current North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For most of the next decade, the South gave aid and promoted exchanges with the North but the policy began to wane when a North Korean soldier shot and killed a South Korean tourist who strayed into an off-limits area in the North\u2019s Mount Kumgang resort in 2008. After Kim Jong Un took power in Pyongyang in 2011, the North has pursued nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles programmes, hurling insults and threats at South Korea and the United States.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">South Korean President Moon Jae-in, a supporter of the Sunshine policy, has made a fresh effort at detente since he was voted to power in May last year. He has held his own two summits with Kim Jong Un, in April and May.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Moon\u2019s efforts to act as a mediator between Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump led to Tuesday\u2019s summit, and that\u2019s the role the late Kim Dae-jung had long sought to play, according to his son and former officials.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>POLICY FAILURE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Kim Dae-jung, who fought North Korean communist guerrillas during the Korean War, was adamant that there must not be war again on the peninsula, and that the fate of the region should not be left in the hands of superpowers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the 2000 inter-Korean summit, Kim Dae-jung convinced then U.S. President Bill Clinton to visit Pyongyang and meet Kim Jong Il, according to memoirs written by Lim Dong-won, the former South Korean president\u2019s point man on North Korea.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But the plan soon fell apart following the narrow election victory of George W. Bush, who hardened his line against North Korea with the help of Republican conservatives, he wrote.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lim declined to comment for this story.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another failure came in 2006, when the North shunned Kim Dae-jung\u2019s offer to cross the border as retired president to help break the standoff with Washington over its freeze of about $24 million worth of North Korean funds at Macau\u2019s Banco Delta Asia.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lee Jong-seok, who helped shape the Sunshine policy from the early 1990s and became unification minister in 2006, says he is still \u201cunthinkably sorry and heartbroken\u201d when he recalls Kim Dae-jung\u2019s crestfallen face after he told him he would not be able to go.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt was around the time when conservative, anti-North Korea protesters camping out in front of his home every day,\u201d Lee told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBut he was so composed and resolute, saying he\u2019s old enough not to be afraid of anything if he could contribute to making peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kim had planned to speak at the National Press Club in Washington on Sept. 19, 2009, marking the anniversary of a 2005 aid-for-disarmament accord reached by the six party talks involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Japan and Russia.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kim, then 85, was in poor health but was insistent on going. However, he died just one month before the scheduled address.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI delivered the speech on behalf of him, which was virtually his posthumous work,\u201d said Chung Dong-young, Lee\u2019s predecessor as unification minister.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAnd the key message was that a summit between the United States and North Korea would be the only way to resolve the nuclear issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>LEGACY OF PEACE<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Many of the architects of the Sunshine policy, including Lee, advise the Moon administration and were invited to a dinner on the sidelines of the first summit between Moon and Kim Jong Un in April.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Suh Hoon, who was instrumental in arranging the 2000 summit, is now Moon\u2019s spy chief and played a key role in pursuing the summit<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yet both Kim and Trump have come too far to risk any failure from the summit, and Kim\u2019s boldness and Trump\u2019s disposition as a dealmaker may come together to produce a surprising result, the former officials said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBoth sides are coming to the summit out of their own fears and frustration, and we should try to encourage Kim Jong Un, rather than question his intention, so that he can shake off any doubt and take the right path with conviction,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the United States and North Korea hold a historic summit on Tuesday, supporters of former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung say it will be the culmination of a mission launched two decades ago by the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
