Assessing the Impact of the Second Inter-Korean Summit Assessing the Impact of the Second Inter-Korean Summit


The first inter-Korean summit, in June 2000, was a watershed moment in modern Korean history. Now Kim Jong-il and Roh Moo-hyun are set to meet on October 2 in Pyongyang for a second North-South summit and their first encounter with one another. With the daunting work of reconciliation on the agenda, the nuclear crisis still looming, and with the eyes of the international community focused on the Korean Peninsula, the stakes are high for both North and South Korea – and for the United States.

As one of the few South Koreans to attend both the first and second inter-Korean summits, Chung-in Moon’s analysis will be particularly relevant. On October 25, Moon will share his perspective on what the second inter-Korean summit means for both Koreas, Northeast Asia, and the United States.
