Briefing | North Korea: Crisis in waiting

Dragonfly is hosting a briefing looking at rising military tensions in the Korean Peninsula and the implications of a potential security crisis there for the region.
Military tensions between North and South Korea are at their highest in years. Pyongyang launched a record number of missiles in 2022, including on 31 December, and the current diplomatic environment seems particularly conducive to a short-term crisis. With no signs that the US is likely to abandon its precondition of denuclearisation, the North will probably try to trigger a crisis as a way to pressure the US into talks on its own terms or achieve a shift in the US policy.

In this briefing, we will cover:

• What a crisis in the Korean peninsula would look like
• What such a crisis would mean for civil aviation in the region
• The likelihood of full-scale military conflict
• Current considerations for evacuation
• There will also be an opportunity for attendees to pose questions to our panel.

Please note that places are limited and preference will be given to Dragonfly clients.
