BCCK & Korea Risk Group: North Korea in a time of geopolitical risk

What will happen with North Korea if Trump wins the US election? What has been the impact of President Putin's visit to North Korea? And what should we read into North Korea's sending of trash balloons over the border? Our panelists will discuss these questions and more at this upcoming briefing.

It is customary for the BCCK to hold an annual briefing on North Korea and this year we are honoured to partner with our member Korea Risk Group, the producer of NK News, NK PRO and Korea Pro. Timed to take place around the time of the South Korea and US joint military exercises, the "Ulchi Freedom Shield", when tensions between the two Koreas normally rise, this briefing will make sure you understand the latest developments and how they might impact business in South Korea.

Our speakers will include Chad O'Carroll (CEO and Managing Director, Korea Risk Group) and Michelle Lee (Seoul & Tokyo Bureau Chief, Washington Post), Jie-ae Sohn (Invited Professor, Ewha Womans University (Former CNN Seoul Correspondent)) and the panel will be moderated by Jeongmin Kim (Lead Correspondent, NK News).
