New York Conference “Peace and Cooperation in Northeast Asia” on March 8-9 2012
Participants from eight countries met at the Millennium UN Plaza Hotel in New York City March 8th and 9th 2012 for a Track II diplomacy conference focused on issues relating to peace, cooperation, and security on the Korean Peninsula. The 2012 New York Conference on Peace and Cooperation in Northeast Asia consisted of informal, multilateral talks designed to provide participants with a safe environment for examining alternative visions of the future of the region and were held under the Chatham House Rule that protects the identity and affiliation of speakers. Based on the amicable and candid interactions among participants, the organizers believe that the conference achieved its primary goal of building trust, despite continuing political differences.
The conference was jointly organized by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Korean Peninsula Affairs Center of the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, the Center for Peace and Public Integrity at Hanshin University, the National Association of Korean Americans, and the Pacific Century Institute. Attendees from China, DPRK, the EU, Germany, Japan, Mongolia, ROK, Russia, the US, and the United Nations participated. They reflected a broad range of experience in different sectors ,including academia, government, think tanks, and civil society organizations. European participants shared some of the experiences of Ostpolitik and détente in Europe that gradually created the conditions for peaceful coexistence despite longstanding ideological and political differences.
