The second in a series exploring commercial, political and strategic relationships for Korea and the United States, this session examines Russia’s growing business and political interests on the Korean Peninsula, its unique relationships with both North and South Korea, and its commitment with the United States to develop cooperative areas for global leadership, from countering nuclear proliferation to enhancing energy security and assisting in Northeast Asia development.
