ILC2021 6 Session 3 "Europe and Russia’s Relations to the DPRK"

When considering the relations of Europe and Russia with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), we are faced with a wide range of nations and perspectives: the NATO nations, many of which were part of the UN alliance in the Korean war; the non-NATO European nations, neutral na-tions such as Switzerland, Austria and Sweden; and then the CIS nations, primarily Russia, which were supporting the DPRK.
On the one hand, security on the peninsula has become a more direct concern for European na-tions as they are now within range of ICBMs from the DPRK; on the other hand, Europe's very distance from Korea means that tensions on the peninsula are a less immediate danger. However, their close rela-tionships with the US, as well as Japan and the Republic of Korea, do mean that European nations are involved. Russia, which can provide a deeper insight into the DPRK perspective, also has its own inter-ests in the future of the peninsula.
Panelists will discuss policies, interests, and desired outcomes of the primary stakeholders and offer recommendations for steps that can be taken toward a peaceful resolution of the Korean conflict.
