The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people live their lives across the world in a profoundly negative way, but the post-pandemic world may carry the seeds of new initiatives in the economic and geopolitical environments. VCDNP Senior Fellow Angela Kane and Special Advisor to the President of the Republic of Korea Moon Chung-In wrote on these prospects vis-à-vis North Korea in a new brief published by the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Ms. Kane and Mr. Moon, co-chairs of the WEF Global Future Council on the Korean Peninsula, note a number of opportunities in the post-pandemic world, including improvement of the North Korean healthcare system and placing priority on sustainable food security. The brief notes that cooperation in these fields could be a smart strategic choice for cooperation between North and South Korea that could, in turn, pave the way for "a new path for peaceful and eventual Great Reset" on the Korean Peninsula.
