G12: "North Korea, A Visitor’s Perspective"

January 9, 2018  |  9:00-10:30 am

Description: With heightening tensions over North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, the North (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) becomes ever more concerning to South Korea (Republic of Korea) and the Western world. Over eight visits to North Korea, former U.S. Ambassador Tony Hall was able to photograph his travels. Get a rare glimpse inside North Korea and gain even rarer insight into the everyday lives of the people he met. What are the historical circumstances that have separated North and South Korea? What commitments has the U.S. made to the Republic of Korea? What are the interests of the U.S. in the region?
Designed for: Anyone interested in learning more about the situation in North Korea, its people, and its government
Facilitator: Tony Hall
