점점 악화되고 있는 아프가니스탄 상황에 직면 한 트럼프 정부는 아프가니스탄에서 점진적으로 철수할 수 있도록 계획을 수정하였으며, 단기간 안에 미군이 아프가니스탄에서 철수할 수 없기에 아프가니스탄 테러와의 전쟁에서 완전히 승리할 때까지 유지될 것이라고 굳게 믿었다. 미군이 아프가니스탄에서 테러와의 전쟁을 시작한 2001년 이후로 19년이 지난 지금에도 베이징과 워싱턴 사이에 아프가니스탄 문제에 관한 대화나 협력 메커니즘이 없으며, 아프가니스탄과 관련된 모든 주변의 국가들조차도 아프가니스탄 문제를 공동으로 해결하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 인식하지 못하고 있다. 이에 투르크메니스탄, 우즈베키스탄, 타지키스탄 및 파키스탄 등 아프가니스탄의 인근 국가들은 1979년 소련의 아프가니스탄 침공 이후 난민, 마약 및 테러리스트 문제가 발생하고 있다. 본 논문은 아프가니스탄 평화를 목적으로 중국과 미국이 서로 협력할 가능성에 대한 연구했다, 그리고 미래적인 번영(Future of Prosperity)을 구상해봤다. 또한 미국과 아프가니스탄의 문제로 중국의 노력은 아프가니스탄이 가능한 한 빨리 국제 사회의 도움과 협력으로 평화와 안정을 회복 할 수 있기를 희망한다. 결론적으로 중국과 미국이 아프가니스탄 문제에 대해 공통된 관심사를 많이 가지고 있으며 아프가니스탄의 평화와 안정 회복에 대한 합의에 도달할 수 있다고 본다.

As Samuel Huntington has asserted, this world suffers from tension and conflicts between diverse cultures. According to Paul Tillich, the core of culture is religion. There is no clear understanding of culture without appropriate understanding of religions. There has been a long history of tension between Christianity and Islam, although the two have the same Abrahamic tradition. Afghanistan began its Islamic tradition in the 18th century in the Pashtun tribe in the area of Kandahar. A Korean short-term mission team sent by Saem Mul Church was kidnapped by the Taliban armed troops. Two members of the team were then killed by the Taliban in July 2007. The rest of them were released after negotiations between the Korean government and the Taliban were made. Koreans had different opinions about the short-term mission team sent from the Saem Mul Church in the city of Sung Nam, Korea. Some people rebuked them. Others kept silence. Some churches encouraged them. In this critical situation, the Korean Church was embarrassed. This study attempts to offer some suggestions to help the Church overcome this crisis by providing missiological insights based on evangelical mission theology. First, missions need to be carried out according to the promise and the commission revealed in the Scripture. Second, missions should be implemented with the guidance of the Holy Spirit through the prayers of the church. Third, missionaries need to understand the various cultural situations of the area where they are called to serve. Fourth, churches and missionaries should be one in Jesus Christ as the doctrine of the Trinity states. Fifth, mission groups need to put a holistic mission into practice as Jesus Christ exemplified in His time on earth. Sixth, mission groups need to be free of an imperialistic paradigm in the age of postcolonialism. The Korean Church has to repent of negligence and pride over underdeveloped countries since it has become materially affluent. The Church needs to be incarnational in terms of attitude and holistic in terms of ministry in order to help the people to become Christians in a non-Christian world like Afghanistan. The blood shed by the two Korean short-term missionaries in Afghanistan will produce an indigenous church in the Islamic country because the blood of martyrs are the seed of the church as maintained by Tertullian in his Apology.

Maize (Zea mays.L) is the third important crop after wheat and rice in Afghanistan. The productivity is low 2.14 ton/ha due to lack of diversity and well-adapted varieties. 65% of maize production is used as feed and 17.5% as food. Afghanistan is facing seriously malnutrition and poverty, therefore more maize is required to recover food security. Popcorn is also important snack food in Afghanistan, but it is luck of breeding donors. The main objective of this work is to evaluate and identify the introduced hybrids of Korean germplams. International Corn Foundation (ICF), Kyungpook National University (KNU) and Institute of Asian Culture and Development (IACD) collaboratively planted three different types of maize (Silage1, KNU waxy1, Popcorn) in two locations (Isharak and Sherabad) in Mazar-i-sharif. All hybrids have shown good performances and can easily be adapted in Afghanistan climate. Among them KNU waxy1 was the most attractive which has been planted first time. Farmers showed highly interest on new taste and they were so enthusiasm to replant. Maize breeding laboratory at KNU is developing new popcorn cultivar for commercial use in Korea that has shown outstanding result in Afghanistan climate. This experiment described that introducing of new maize hybrids especially KNU waxy1 and popcorn can have great potential to fill up food demand in Afghanistan.
