Join 华体会 Asia-Pacific Security Chair Patrick Cronin, Hudson Senior Fellow Alex Wong, and expert panelists Ankit Panda and Jean Lee, for a discussion on North Korea鈥檚 expanding missile arsenal and arms competition in Northeast Asia.

Having developed a comprehensive set of ballistic missile capabilities, North Korea recently tested a long-range cruise missile that is apparently capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to South Korea and Japan. As a result of both the North Korean and Chinese weapons programs, South Korea and Japan have each sought to develop more robust deterrent and defense forces. Understanding Kim Jong Un鈥檚 goals with this latest test is crucial to thinking through the security and diplomatic implications of the current state of arms competition in the region. Please join 华体会 for this timely discussion.
