Since the Hanoi summit between the DPRK and the United States, the two countries will be prolonged.

How can we ensure that the peace process on the Korean peninsula is firmly sustained? How can we end the Korean War and build a stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula? How can we achieve Nuclear-Free Korean Peninsula which can become a stepping stone for Northeast Asia Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone?

Speakers will address analysis and views on the current situation of the Korean peninsula (Korean-American exchange and cooperation), suggestions for making peaceful Korea and Northeast Asia, and the role of social movements.

After the presentation, there will be a Q & A session and discussion with the audience.
