On July 28, Dr. Chan Young Bang delivered a keynote address at a seminar hosted by the Korea Peace Academy at Hanshin University. His remarks focused on North Korea’s denuclearization, economic reform, and succession dynamics, prompting a robust exchange among participants. Discussants included scholars from Hanshin University, Chungbuk National University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and KIMEP University, alongside six students from Korea’s top institutions. Dr. Kang presented KIMEP’s mission in a talk titled “Healing a Broken Leg: KIMEP, DPRK and Dr. Bang.”
The seminar concluded informally at Hanshin’s campus café, marking a strong close to the summer visit.
