Dear Northfield Community,

The Peace and War Center at Norwich University would like to invite you to join an inaugural Peace and War Summit, held in the newly built Mack Hall auditorium at Norwich on September 17-18, 2018. This year's Summit focuses on the North Korean nuclear and missile challenges, which are currently a central issue for peace and stability for the United States and the East Asian region.

At the 2018 Summit, South Korean Consul General in Boston, Yonghyon Kim, will deliver the keynote speech on the most updated condition of the North Korean nuclear/missile issue. Japanese Consul General in Boston, Rokuichiro Michii, will deliver brief remarks regarding the Japanese government's position on the North Korean issue. Four panels, consisting of prominent scholars and policy experts, outline how four different perspectives, the U.S., China, Japan, and South Korea, highlight the current scholarship on North Korea. Moreover, the Summit will include a roundtable debate over how to deal with nuclear North Korea. The Summit also provides a forum for outstanding students to present their research related on peace and war.

Finally, the South Korean Consulate in Boston will provide an opportunity for all participants to experience Korean culture at Norwich University via a screening of the film, Ode to My Father (PG-13, 4-6pm), and by a special performance of traditional Korean dance/music (7:30-8:45pm).
