What is the link between the North Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific regions, and what is South Korea’s role in this reimagined security framework?

The Japan-South Korea-U.S. mechanism is a crucial piece in the United States’ broad Indo-Pacific strategy.

Major interconnected shifts are underway on the Korean Peninsula, from a looming end-of-war declaration to South Korea’s involvement in the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy.

The ROK-U.S. alliance is at a time of transition, and a lot of changes will be required to maintain the strength and effectiveness of the alliance into the future.

The threat from North Korea (and beyond) has changed. The ROK-U.S. alliance must change as well to keep pace.

The Indo-Pacific focus of the Biden-Moon joint statement was notable.

The Moon administration is upping its focus on Mekong countries as part of its wider approach to Southeast Asia.
