From Pyongyang to Tehran: U.S. and Japanese Perspectives on Nuclear Deals
Mon, March 28th, 2016
Washington, DC
Although Japan was not an official party to the U.S.-North Korea Agreed Framework nuclear deal twenty years ago, it was a vital partner in the effort to implement that agreement. The failure of the Agreed Framework taught the allies valuable lessons relevant to the recent multilateral deal with Iran, even though the two agreements are different in many ways. Verification and maintaining incentives for compliance will be important factors in the continued implementation of the Iran deal, and Japan’s membership on the UN Security Council and business relationships with Iran are potential assets for addressing these issues.
What are the most pertinent lessons from the past? And how can Japan and the United States support implementation of the Iran deal? Carnegie hosted a half-day conference discussing these questions.
This conference will be followed by a light reception.
