As North Korea continues to expand its nuclear and missile capabilities, the security environment in Northeast Asia is becoming increasingly complex. Lieutenant General (Ret.) In-Bum Chun will examine the risks of conflict on the Korean Peninsula, the evolving nuclear balance among North Korea, China, and America’s allies, and the critical role of deterrence in maintaining regional stability. This timely discussion will provide valuable insights into one of the world’s most dangerous security flashpoints and the policies required to prevent conflict while preserving stability in Northeast Asia.
Drawing on decades of military leadership and firsthand experience confronting North Korean threats, General Chun will discuss how China’s rise influences Pyongyang’s behavior, the dangers of miscalculation in a nuclear environment, and the challenges of crisis management during periods of heightened tension. He will also explore South Korea’s growing debate over indigenous nuclear capabilities, the importance of extended deterrence under the U.S. nuclear umbrella, and the future of U.S.-ROK-Japan security cooperation.
