Event Description
Korea’s President and her advisors speak of hope for enhanced trilateral relations among Korea, the United States and China. 2013’s historic summits between Obama and Park, Obama and Xi, and Park and Xi revealed a growing complementarity of positions vis-a-vis North Korea and common calls for denuclearization. How does Korea navigate space among its great ally and great neighbor, balancing political-security and economic realities? How do domestic political determinants influence foreign policy in this area for all three actors? How do China and U.S. strategists regard cooperation on near-term challenges, such as North Korean nuclear and missile development, as well as the mid to long-term realities of integration and unification? Join a special session featuring key analysts, including Pacific Forum CSIS President Ralph Cossa, Fudan University’s Shen Dingli, Yonsei University’s Han Sukhee and John Delury, CFR’s Scott Snyder, and the Fletcher School’ s Sung-Yoon Lee, in a dialogue hosted by The Korea Society Senior Vice President Stephen Noerper.
