The Upcoming Biden-Moon Summit: What Lies Ahead On and Around the Korean Peninsula

Description:

President Moon Jae-in of South Korea is set to visit Washington to meet with President Biden on May  21st. Not only will he be the second head of state to visit Biden, but this will most likely mark his last visit  to the United States as a lame duck president. His visit, however, comes at a unique time with the recent  Congressional hearing on South Korea’s controversial anti-leaflet law and the upcoming rollout of the  Biden administration’s North Korea policy.

The question on everyone’s mind: What is President Moon Jae-in seeking to accomplish in Washington?

The obvious assumptions are that Moon will try to reinforce the ‘ironclad’ US-ROK alliance and request  greater American support for South Korea’s procurement of vaccines. However, Moon’s unstated  objective may be to persuade President Biden to follow the Moon administration’s ‘accomodationist’  approach to dealing with North Korea. Surprisingly few people are aware of, or will admit, Moon and his  closest associates’ radical ideology that shapes his policies and objectives for the Korean Peninsula and  towards the United States.

On May 17, One Korea Network (OKN) and Committee on the Present Danger: China (Captive Nations Coalition) will host a  joint webinar to analyze President Moon’s objectives as he embarks for Washington. A panel composed  of defense and security experts on South Korea, North Korea, China, and the US will examine Moon’s visit, the US-ROK alliance and its future prospects, and other issues including denuclearization of North  Korea and China’s role in the Indo-Pacific.

You may submit questions for the speakers by tagging @OneKoreaNetwor1 or @CPDChina on Twitter or  via email to [email protected]. Live questions will also be taken during the event.
