From the Far East to the Old West: Chinese and Japanese Settlers in Montana |
What: "Beyond the Nuclear Issue: Crisis
on the Korean Peninsula" Walter Mondale will lead discussion on the Korean peninsula crisis
Minneapolis, Minn. (09/01/06)—Vice President Walter Mondale will lead a panel discussion called "Beyond the Nuclear Issue: Crisis on the Korean Peninsula" from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, September 15, at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, 301 19th Ave. S., Minneapolis.
North Korea’s 4th of July launch of multiple medium- and long-range missiles once again thrust North Korea onto the front pages. In addition to the ongoing nuclear crisis, there is growing concern over North Korea’s human rights situation, the flow of refugees into China, the past kidnapping of Japanese and South Korean citizens, and recent evidence that the flooding and famine that haunted much of North Korea in the 1990s may be returning.
Joining Mondale for a panel discussion on these issues will be L. Desaix Anderson, former executive director of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO); Burton Levin, former U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong and U.S. ambassador to Burma; L. Gordon Flake, executive director of the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation and a frequent commentator on Asian issues; and Humphrey Institute Dean J. Brian Atwood, former USAID administrator.
The event, which is cosponsored by the Maureen and Mike Mansfield
Foundation and the Minnesota International Center, is free and
open to the public, but registration is required by contacting
Camille Gage at (612) 625-5309. Please forward media inquiries to:
