Aim of this seminar
United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are set to meet in Hanoi, Vietnam on Feb 27 and 28. While North Korea has refrained from testing missiles or nuclear devices since the two leaders met in Singapore, June last year, has the Hanoi Summit yielded any further progress in the accomplishing the goal of "denuclearization"? What are the implications of the outcome of the Hanoi Summit for security in Northeast Asia and for Japan?
Mr. Sneider and Mr. Miyake will discuss this topic freely in a dialogue format.
