Events At Usip

Despite high hopes after the first summit in Singapore, U.S.-North Korea negotiations remain deadlocked after a failed second summit in Hanoi. China, as North Korea’s largest neighbor and main trade partner, has played an important role in previous negotiations and should be encouraged to play a constructive role in moving talks forward. The United States hopes Beijing’s economic and diplomatic leverage with North Korea can help bring Pyongyang back to the negotiation table. USIP’s China-North Korea Senior Study Group convened over several months to consider how Washington can best engage Beijing to advance progress on denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula. Speakers: Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy Founding Director Emeritus, Kissinger Institute on China and the United States Former U.S. Ambassador to China Co-chair, USIP China-North Korea Senior Study Group Ambassador Joseph Yun Senior Advisor, USIP Former U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Co-chair, USIP China-North Korea Senior
