Description
China’s growing nuclear arsenal, North Korea’s nuclear advancements, and other developments in the Indo-Pacific have raised concerns about the future of security competition in the region. With renewed funding, Pacific Forum will continue its efforts to further discussions about arms control, nonproliferation, and crisis management in this consequential region. This includes leadership of the Council on Security and Cooperation in the Asia Pacific, which convenes multilateral discussions on these issues and facilitates cooperation between the United States and regional allies related to extended deterrence. Pacific Forum will also provide research support for ongoing Track II dialogues between the United States and China on nuclear topics. The Corporation grant will contribute to dialogue, research, publications, and networking.

Description
Given that India, Pakistan, and China are nuclear weapons states, the reduction of nuclear risks in the Indo-Pacific region is crucial for promoting regional and global security, especially in an era of increasingly intense geostrategic competition. With renewed general support from the Corporation, Pacific Forum will continue its longstanding engagement with scholars and officials throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Pacific Forum will facilitate dialogues and multilateral discussions on arms control, nonproliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful uses of nuclear and other sensitive technologies, seek to foster discussions between the United States and regional allies on extended deterrence and nonproliferation, and provide research support for ongoing Track II initiatives between the United States and China on a range of nuclear issues including deterrence and strategic stability.

The reduction of nuclear risks in the Asia Pacific region is crucial for promoting regional and global security. The Pacific Forum will facilitate several dialogues to advance this objective. The first program, the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), will bring together security leaders from twenty-seven countries in East and Southeast Asia to discuss regional nonproliferation and disarmament issues. In a parallel effort, Pacific Forum will support the next generation of specialists in the United States and abroad through the Young Leader’s Program, aimed at expanding the global capacity to address security challenges. Pacific Forum will also continue Track II dialogues that build on longstanding engagement with scholars and officials in China and North Korea, as well as their trilateral meetings among the United States, Russia, and China on common interests and approaches to North Korea.

Duration
20 months
Description
While the United States, Russia and China all maintain a public commitment to resolving the North Korean nuclear challenge, they are not fully aligned in their approaches. Among the many challenges is a lack of sustained conversations on North Korea among the three countries. Pacific Forum seeks to address this gap through a series of trilateral meetings that will bring together a small number of senior and upcoming experts, policy practitioners, and policy officials from the United States, Russia, and China to discuss common interests and approaches to North Korea. The findings in the unofficial meetings will be brought to the attention of government officials in the respective capitals.
