A historic inter-Korean summit was held at the end of April, followed by the first U.S.-North Korea summit, setting the track for a strategy toward bringing about denuclearization and a permanent and robust peace regime Korean Peninsula. Under the April 27 Panmunjom Declaration, the South and North Korean leaders vowed that there would be no more war on the Korean Peninsula, following a period of exacerbated tensions over the recent years. A landmark first summit between North Korea and the United States scheduled for June 12 in Singapore is expected to bring about some sort of “big deal” on denuclearization. The role of diplomacy will play an especially vital role in the coming months as the inter-Korean dialogue expands to include other six-party talk nations and those countries with interest in the region. This session will provide a venue for ambassadors to weigh in on how the international community, especially through diplomatic overtures, can contribute to the establishment of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia amid shifting dynamics in the region, and in the spirit of carrying on with the current momentum of dialogue.
