What’s Next for the Korean Peninsula: Russian and U.S. Perspectives

Tue. May 22nd, 2018
Moscow

Following the summit in Panmunjom between the leaders of the DPRK and the ROK, expectations of diplomacy prevailing on the Korean Peninsula run high, and the world is waiting for the upcoming meeting between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump. However, progress on the Korean Peninsula depends not only on the outcome of talks between North Korean and U.S. leaders; it also requires cooperation between all major powers involved, and particularly the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the United States, China, and Russia. 

  • What can we expect from Kim Jong-un’s meeting with Donald Trump?
  • How will the growing tensions between China and the United States affect cooperation and competition between these two powers with regard to the Korean Peninsula?
  • How does Russia view current developments on the peninsula, and what will Moscow do to become more relevant?

These and other questions were discussed by a panel of distinguished experts from Russia and the United States.
