About this event

Korea-Canada relations are founded on shared values and strong economic, cultural, and people-to-people ties. One critical aspect of this relationship is addressing the North Korea issue, as Pyongyang鈥檚 nuclear development poses serious regional and global security threats. Key questions include why North Korea鈥檚 nuclear development matters to Canada, the motivations behind North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons, South Korea鈥檚 policy toward the North, and the United Nations Security Council鈥檚 strategies and North Korea鈥檚 response.

The SFU School for International Studies' Consular Conversations series is a monthly public forum featuring discussions with members of the Consular Corps in Vancouver. These conversations are moderated by , an IS Adjunct Professor and Consul General of Argentina. The goal is to bring together the Consular Corps of British Columbia for public lectures that encourage dialogue on issues that transcend borders, explore inspiring topics, and cultivate connections. The primary audience will be members of the Consular Corps of British Columbia and the Schools for International Studies and Public Policy. This is an exceptional opportunity for students in both SFU units.
