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/

Korea Chair – Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Institute for European Studies is the primary contact point in Europe on policy issues related to Korea and the Korean Peninsula.

A joint initiative between the Korea Foundation and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), the Chair plays a strategic role in furthering Europe-Korea relations. It builds links between Europe and Korea through a number of activities and partnerships, and contributes actively to increasing the possibilities for their future cooperation on bilateral, regional and global levels.

The KF-VUB Korea Chair was launched in October 2017 and acts as an independent platform in Brussels and across Europe to advance academically rigorous and informed discussions on policy questions that are of relevance to the Republic of Korea and Europe. It conducts policy research and discussions on a wide range of areas including nuclear weapons and WMD, trade, finance, cyber security, counter-terrorism, climate change and science and technology, among others.

The Chair holder is Dr. Ramon Pacheco Pardo who is also a Senior Lecturer at King’s College London.

 

 

About Press - Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Vrije Universiteit Brussel is an internationally oriented university in Brussels, the heart of Europe. By providing excellent research and education on a human scale, VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society.

The World Needs You

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel assumes its scientific and social responsibility with love and decisiveness. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig – The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights... With Partnership, VUB is looking for joint actions to make the world a better place. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves. VUB is an ‘urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.
