Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang and the sixth meeting of the US-ROK Nuclear Consultative Group, along with other recent developments, provide new opportunities to reflect on these longstanding alliances. What was the outcome of President Xi's trip and what insights did it provide on the modern China-DPRK dynamic? How is Kim Jong Un balancing North Korea's relationships with both China and Russia? In what ways do these shifts impact the US-ROK alliance, and where is it heading? 

Dr. Chung-in Moon, former Special Advisor for foreign affairs and national security to President Moon Jae-in, will join NCNK to share his expert analysis in this upcoming webinar. RSVP today
