The development of sentiments of peace towards North Korea has been in full swing since the inauguration of the Moon Jae-in administration. There is a growing outlook that the circumstances of the Korean peninsula, with sanctions levied against the North for its conducting of nuclear and missile tests, will be reversed with the joint participation of the North and South in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and as dialogue channels between relevant parties, including the inter-Korean and US-North Korea Summit. Following the participation of the PyeongChang Olympics, at the same time, with the confrontational relationship between the North and South giving way to a mode of peace, this session looks at manners of mutual benefit and continuing close cooperation for states in the region with interests on the peninsula.
