The political and security environment in Korea and East Asia is in a constant state of flux. As such, it is in the best interests of scholars, policymakers, strategists and others to constantly reassess these issues and build a deeper understanding of them over time so as to better inform the policy development of each nation in the region. To this end, EAI together with US Embassy and Department of Public Affairs of Sungkyunkwan University held the North Korea Policy Conference 2013 on May 21 at Sungkyunkwan University.
* Korean-English simultaneous interpretation was provided in all sessions.
