Towards Peace in the Korean Peninsula?
Panel Discussion KF-VUB Korea Chair and the CSIS Korea Chair
The KF-VUB Korea Chair and CSIS Korea Chair invite you to a panel discussion and Q&A session about recent and upcoming developments on the Korean Peninsula, including the scheduled summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, two inter-Korean summits between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Kim, and Kim's two visits to China. The event will take place on 14 June at 16:30, so probably right in the wake of the Trump-Kim summit. Journalists present will have the opportunity to engage in the Q&A session, as well as have post-event interviews with our prominent panelists.
The event is held on 14 June, from 16.30 to 18.00, at the Korean Cultural Center (Regentschapsstraat 4, 1000 Brussel). https://www.korea-chair.eu/towards-peace-in-the-korean-peninsula-assessing-a-spring-of-summits/
