Korea Society
950 Third Ave., 8th Floor, New York, NY 10022
Join the Hyundai Motor–Korea Foundation Center for Korean History and Public Policy, the National Committee on North Korea, and The Korea Society for a discussion of North Korea’s recent Seventh Party Congress and its implications. Panelists will assess the event’s implications for North Korea’s ruling institutions and personnel, discuss what it might portend for Pyongyang’s domestic policies and external relations, and look at the Party Congress in its historical context. Held for the first time since 1980, North Korea’s Party Congress invoked symbols of continuity with both the country’s recent policies and its earlier practices under Kim Il Sung.
