Event Description:
Since the end of last year, North Korea has defined inter-Korean relations as relations between ‘two
hostile states’ while simultaneously advancing its nuclear and missile capabilities, thereby escalating
military threats. In particular, the deepening military cooperation between Russia and North Korea
poses a threat to global peace and stability, extending beyond just Northeast Asia. This makes the
current situation a critical juncture for addressing issues on the Korean Peninsula.
At the same time, slow but irreversible changes are taking place within North Korean society, such as
marketization, informatization, and the institutionalization of corruption, as highlighted in the Report
on North Korea’s Economy and Society (February 2024).
In his special lecture, Minister of Unification Kim Yung Ho discussed the evolving unification and security environment surrounding the Korean Peninsula and the internal changes within North Korea, as well as the ROK government’s policies toward unification and North Korea. He emphasized that the unification of the Korean Peninsula, grounded in universal values such as freedom, human rights, and democracy, is a shared goal for the ROK and the international community—one that contributes to global peace and prosperity.
Speaker: Kim Yung Ho, Minister of Unification for the ROK
Moderator: Celeste Arrington, Director of the GW Institute for Korean Studies
