India’s Ties to North Korea: Can New Delhi Overcome Challenges to Its Maturing Engagement?
September 30, 2020
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s commentary ‘India’s Ties to North Korea: Can New Delhi Overcome Challenges to Its Maturing Engagement?’ has been published by 38 North in Stimson Centre, on September 30, 2020.
The piece argues that with the post-COVID geopolitical order undergoing major changes and global economic conditions deteriorating, North Korea will want to focus on strengthening its already weak economy, especially if the country is hit hard by COVID-19. Furthermore, at some point, dialogue between North Korea, the United States, South Korea, Japan and other stakeholders on the Korean Peninsula will reopen; at that juncture, India would be poised to play a constructive role in promoting peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
