Believing that Russia–US cooperation could play an important role in developing and implementing proposals for denuclearisation and creating lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula, the Moscow-based Center for Energy and Security Studies (CENESS) and The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) undertook a joint assessment of North Korea’s progress in developing nuclear and missile capabilities.
The three-part report rigorously outlines the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities and details potential steps for tension reduction, confidence-building and denuclearisation. In this webinar launch, Mark Fitzpatrick and Anton Khlopkov will discuss the findings of the report and respond to questions from the audience.
Please note if you are unable to attend the live webinar, a recording will be made available on the IISS website within 24 hours.
