Maintaining Deterrence Against Threats
Maxwell also warned about the ongoing threats from North Korea, stating that South Korea and the United States must continuously strengthen their military power and deterrence. He believes that without a strong deterrence strategy, the risks arising from North Korea's provocative actions will increase.

Ultimately, Maxwell emphasized that Korean unity should be viewed as a gradual and long-term process. He stated that this unity requires time, effort, and close cooperation between the two Koreas and should draw on the experiences of other countries in this regard. Maxwell concluded by noting that any hasty actions could lead to greater instability and tensions.
