The Situation on the Korean Peninsula: North Korean Nuclear Issue
Joining us: South Korean Consul General Hong Ji-in
Date: Tuesday, March 17th
Time: 5 to 7 pm
Location: Purple Lounge, RL 14th floor
North Korea’s recent nuclear moves have attracted much attention from not only the South Korean media, but also that of around the globe.
Its most recent test struck fear and suspicion across East Asian nations and even the attentions of the United States of America.
Overshadowed by such uncertainties, what implications do these moves have on the relationship between the North and South?
It is difficult to get an impression of the situation in South Korea.
Since the election of Lee Myung-Bak, the government’s actions have changed drastically and it has become even more perplexing when trying to grasp the state of bi-lateral relations in the Korean peninsula.
Hong Ji-in, Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Toronto joins us for an invigorating discussion and dialogue.
The talk with be followed by a Q&A.
