Northeast Asia in Focus - 2: Impacts of Russo-Ukrainian Conflict on Northeast Asia

In the second session of the Northeast Asia in Focus Series, the US-Asia Institute is bringing Northeast Asian experts for our session titled: Impact of Russo-Ukrainian Conflict on Northeast Asia.  Right now, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is dominating all major media platforms due to the uncertainty of the situation and the challenges affected nations face as a result.  Although the conflict is occuring in Ukraine, it has had major implications on countries in the Northeast Asia region.  In addition, with the recent election of Yoon Suk-yeol to become South Korea’s 13th president, there are uncertainties regarding how North Korea will react.  This briefing will cover topics including the impact of the conflict on Japan and South Korea both geopolitically and economically, the important role of China, and predictions about the future of South and North Korea relations.
