Building Peace with North Korea
November 1, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 9:30 am
Breakfast available from 8:00 a.m.
Discussion begins at 8:30 a.m.
Get the insights you need on key trends in Asia at this series of monthly breakfast briefings featuring business and policy insiders and thought leaders. Conversations moderated by Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski.
Just hours after announcing it would resume talks with the U.S., North Korea launched a new type of submarine-launched ballistic missile — serving as a reminder that while its young leader, Kim Jong-Un, will engage in negotiations, North Korea’s ability to threaten its neighbors and beyond isn’t too far behind the handshakes. Behind the scenes, there are groups providing humanitarian assistance, promoting inter-Korean exchanges and projects to reduce the animosity between the two Koreas, in the hopes of promoting peace on the Korean peninsula.
Join us for a look into the challenging work and role these groups play in the search for peace, with Asia 21 Young Leader John Delury and Dong-Jin Kim.
