The CFR Task Force report comes at a timely juncture for U.S. relations in the region. It identifies three essential elements of an internationally coordinated response to DPRK nuclear development: denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and an approach that attempts to resolve rather than simply manage the issue; regional cohesion, enabled by close U.S.-South Korea relations; and China’s cooperation and active engagement. The report outlines a number of recommendations, including calling for the establishment of a dialogue with China about the future of the Korean peninsula, bilateral talks with North Korea regarding missile development, and the continuation of close consultations with allies South Korea and Japan.

The Council on Foreign Relations and The Korea Society wish to thank the Korea Foundation for its support.
