20220201 - Think Tank 2022 Forum Series - Session 1 - Opening - International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace (IAPP)
Theme: Peace and Stability in East Asia and the Korean Peninsula
Abstract: Northeast Asia hosts three of the most dynamic world economies: China, Japan and South Korea. It constitutes a natural crossroads of cultures and traditions and is characterized today by an extraordinary ability for technological innovation and global business. One of the most important tactical players in today’s geopolitics, Russia, faces that area with its eastern offshoots. As growing military tensions around Taiwan as well as economic and technological rivalry between China and the United States threaten peace and stability in East Asia, the regional power balance shifts in Beijing's favor. In the meantime, the Korean Peninsula remains a bone of contention among its powerful neighbors. The old system of bloc alliances persists in the multipolar world of the 21st century and keeps Korea divided.
