Northeast Asia after Hanoi: In Search for Regional Security
Thu, March 21st, 2019
Moscow
After an abortive summit in Hanoi between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the state of regional security in northeast Asia has been in limbo. There is an increased risk of hostilities returning to pre-2018 levels. Challenges to regional stability are mounting amid growing tensions between China and the U.S., the collapse of the INF treaty, and ongoing confrontation between Russia and the U.S.
- What is likely to happen on the Korean Peninsula after Hanoi?
- How is great power rivalry affecting regional stability in northeast Asia?
- How is the collapse of INF and lack of progress in Hanoi affecting regional powers’ plans to develop their missile and missile-defense programs?
- Is there a way for regional powers to establish security mechanisms to decrease tensions?
These and other questions were discussed by a panel of leading scholars from Russia, Japan, and South Korea. The event was organized by the Carnegie Moscow Center.
