Amid the current impasse between Pyongyang and Washington, the forum held sessions on how to reach a peaceful resolution on the issue, and the prospect of dismantling North Korea's nuclear program. Former and sitting diplomats and experts have gathered to discuss regional issues under the theme 'Asia Towards Resilient Peace.'

Other regional issues, including the future of US-China relations and South Korea’s New Southern Policy, will also be discussed. The forum wraps up on Friday.
