North Korea’s Ninth Party Congress will offer a clearer picture of Kim Jong Un’s domestic and foreign policy roadmap for the next five years. It will shed light on critical questions with far-reaching policy implications: Where is Kim Jong Un taking the country politically and economically? How does he assess the international security landscape, and how is it shaping his policies? What does his five-year defense plan reveal about North Korea’s military strategy and posture? How will Pyongyang engage key regional actors, including the United States, South Korea, China, Russia, and Japan? Featuring 38 North experts and a leading analyst of North Korea’s WMD and missile programs, this webinar will examine what the latest Party Congress means for the Korean Peninsula and beyond.
