For the first ground-breaking event for the Korean Peninsula Forum, which aims at enhancing the understanding and visibility of issues related to the Korean peninsula in the Northwest America and beyond, the UW Center for Korea Studies at the Jackson School of International Studies invited Christopher Robert Hill, the former United States ambassador to the Republic of Korea, to give a public presentation. Ambassador Hill discussed the current events surrounding Northeast Asia, drawing on his foreign service experience to elucidate underlying causes as well as consequences on the region’s geopolitical dynamics and the U.S.-South Korea relations.
