North Korea remains one of the toughest and persistent security challenges facing the Korean peninsula and the wider global community—requiring collaborative efforts from all parties. Instead, a nuclear and increasingly belligerent North Korea appears to have succeeded in sowing discord and further complicating the relationships in the Asia-Pacific region. In response to the North’s multiple missile launches, the South Korean government has agreed to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) system. Not surprisingly the THAAD deployment plan has been met with stern warnings from both China and Russia. Given the high stakes that come with nuclear weapons, it is important—now more than ever— to seek a common ground for a peaceful resolution.
Asia Society, in partnership with the East Asia Foundation, presents a high-level panel discussion evaluating the tensions between the major stakeholders on this issue, and the outlook for a peaceful resolution in the near and long term for the peninsula.
