Aimed at strengthening the long-time alliance and bilateral cooperation for the future on all fronts, the bilateral summit also paved the way for a stronger free, open, and inclusive Indo-Pacific rapidly becoming the center of global geo...

Moonshot in Washington
A quid pro quo was at the heart of the recent Washington summit between Presidents Moon Jae-in and Joe Biden: The U.S. president promised to pursue diplomatic engagement with North Korea in return for Moon accepting the principles supporting the U.S. strategy against China.

Tale of three pipelines
Who would imagine that pipeline politics would be a defining feature of the new U.S. administration? Pipelines after all are the ultimate infrastructure project; unseen, unsung, underground but exceedingly critical to moving fuel, gas or water. As pipelines are truly just under the surface, they somehow create some rarely seen political hijinks.

Re-engaging North Korea after Moon-Biden summit
The positive results of the South Korea-U.S. summit are expected to encourage a resumption in dialogue between the United States and North Korea, as well as between the two Koreas. However, prior experience warns that hard work and creativity are required to go beyond mere engagement in dialogue and to achieve tangible progress in relations with North Korea.

Les Miserables Coreennes
If you think I am talking about the famous novel by Victor Hugo, you are wrong. Rather, I am channeling another famous French man in Nostradamus by predicting the future state of Korea circa 2050: a country filled with a bunch of miserable, lonely old people surviving on alternative facts and conspiracy theories.

Art of diplomacy, the North Korean way
The first summit between President Joe Biden and President Moon Jae-in held in Washington, D.C. last week formalized the outcome of the new U.S. administration's North Korea policy review.

New relationship with North Korea should focus on family reunions
Being separated from the ones you love takes a toll on life. Over time we may adapt to life without them, but as the Korean Peninsula only knows too well, a piece of us is left behind. After World War II, my Grandmother Mary left Italy and her family for a new life in the United States. Growing up, I would occasionally hear her talk of the experience of war and her family, bu...

Art of South Korea-US summit
Some argue that the biggest achievement of the recently concluded Moon-Biden summit was Washington's recognition of the spirit of the Singapore summit. Others point out that the U.S. relaxation of South Korea's missile range limit was the most tangible outcome. Yet another group sees the “restoration” of the South Korea-U.S. alliance as the most meaningful accomplishment.

Long way to become climate leader
In 2016, Climate Home, a climate change online news outlet, named South Korea a world “climate villain” together with Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. The report was based on the analysis from Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent scientific research organization.

ROK-US cooperation needed to promote N. Korea human rights
Last week in Washington, D.C, leaders of both the Republic of Korea and the United States reaffirmed the rock-solid cooperation between the two countries. I hope the summit will be the gateway to restart the US-North Korea dialogue to make progress for peace on the Korean Peninsula.
