26 Conclusion It is necessary -To establish basic plans for logistics integration and development in the Korean peninsula -To prepare a mid to long-term plan for ROK-NEA logistics system integration and development considering a link with the continent -To conduct a joint survey on logistics status and demands in ROK and NEA -To establish basic plans for ROK-DPRK logistics integration and development - Increasing ROK-DPRK Logistics Cooperation through International Organization like UNESCAP

27 Conclusion To implement an international transport network in NEA region, - Integrated link of the Northeast Asia infrastructures (hardware) - Northeast Asia transport operation agreement and a Northeast Asia transport cooperation consultative group (software) for integrated transport operation As a way of organizing a Northeast Asia Transport cooperation consultative group using the existing international transport cooperation agencies, a currently feasible plan is to make use of the UNESCAP As such, the plan to utilize UNESCAP enables - to implement the Northeast Asia Transportation pilot operation - to minimize financial burden - to build experiences of international trasportation operation at the same time
