The June 12, 2018 summit in Singapore between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un marked a high point in U.S.-North Korea relations. But in recent months, diplomatic progress has stalled, and confusion abound about what exactly had been agreed to and whether peace in the Korean Peninsula is in peril once again.
What are the prospects for diplomacy that could lead to a breakthrough? Will North Korea accept a defined path towards denuclearization? What are the common grounds whereby the United States and North Korea can build trust and avoid catastrophic miscalculations that could lead to war? From the Pacific Northwest to Washington, DC, what is the impact on Americans and our allies in East Asia if diplomacy fails?
To help us answer these questions, the Council of Korean Americans (CKA) has arranged a free, public event in partnership with the Korea Foundation and the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at University of Washington on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 from 12:00 to 2:00 PM. Lunch will be provided.
Please join Philip Yun, Dr. Yong-Chool Ha, and Jessica Lee in exploring this fast-changing political landscape between the United States and North Korea and what is at stake for global peace and security.
