Seeking the Best or the Second Best: Lessons Learned from Six Party Talks

the Third Trilateral Meeting on Nuclear Stability and Nonproliferation Conference at King's College London Centre for Science & Security Studies.

Jishe Fan presented "Seeking the Best or the Second Best: Lessons Learned from Six Party Talks," at the Third Trilateral Meeting on Nuclear Stability and Nonproliferation Conference at King's College London Centre for Science & Security Studies. Jishe Fan considers the following points in his presentation:

• The North Korea nuclear nonproliferation issue is on the right track
• It is still too early to conclude that denuclearization in the Korean Peninsula will be achieved in near term. All parties still need to keep vigilant on any possible setbacks.
• Iran nonproliferation remains stalemate
• Both Iranian and North Korean nonproliferation issues have serious regional implication
• Some lessons could be learned from the six party talks, and may be applied to similar nonproliferation issues
