['Fireside Chat'/Panel Discussion] "Deputy U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Jung Pak on the Biden Administration’s Approach"
March 10, 2022, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm EST
Online
Registration: https://www.cnas.org/events/fireside-chat-deputy-u-s-special-representative-for-north-korea
Pyongyang began the year with a flurry of missile tests—more in January 2022 than all of 2021 combined—and shows no sign of stopping. The United States, in coordination with its allies South Korea and Japan, have condemned those tests and also offered to engage in diplomatic talks without preconditions. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has not accepted the offer, despite apparent economic hardships due to sanctions and the pandemic. Instead, he appears to be seeking additional support from China. This event will provide insights into U.S. policy toward North Korea and explore a range of options for the future drawing on a multi-year CNAS research project on the topic. The event will include a "fireside chat" with Dr. Jung Pak, Deputy U.S. Special Representative for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), and an expert panel discussion.

Hyunseung and Seohyun Lee are prominent North Korean activists and siblings. They're the children of Ri Jong-ho, a high ranking North Korean defector who worked for decades in “Office 39,” which generates revenue for the North Korean leadership. Hyun-Seung and Seohyun were raised in Pyongyang, educated in China, and escaped North Korea in 2014 with their family after witnessing a series of brutal purges by Kim Jong Un. They speak to their experience as millennials from Pyongyang and share the true nature of the Kim regime and the reality of life in North Korea.
