Mure Dickie & Robert Lyman (13:30 BST)

The Enduring Impact of the Korean War on Asia’s Geopolitics Today

Examining Asia’s geopolitics are Mure Dickie, the Financial Times’ Asia correspondent and Robert Lyman, author of Korea: War Without End. They paint a picture of the nations and their leaders, past and present, including North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un and the impeachment of the South Korean President, Yoon Suk Yeol.

At a time of acute international peril, the causes, outcomes and legacy of the Korean War, triggered by the West’s refusal to appease an aggressor, have rarely been more pertinent.

Doubts about the stability of South Korea’s democracy, and about the commitment of the US to the alliances that secure the country and neighbouring Japan, have implications far beyond the region. Any crisis between them and the axis of autocracy of Russia, China and North Korea, would send shockwaves throughout the world.
