An annual summit in Mongolia can serve as a platform for dialogue over the Korean Peninsula, in particular in the wake of the Kim-Trump summit in Singapore. “The Ulaanbaatar Dialogue could be for Northeast Asia what the Helsinki process was for Europe, a platform to set foundations for multilateral cooperation on peace and security”, one expert said on the sidelines of this year’s edition of the annual high-level meeting on peace and security. Government representatives and scholars from all the countries in Northeast Asia, North America and Western Europe met in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar on 14-15 June to discuss peace and security in Northeast Asia. This was the fifth Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security (UD), organized jointly by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Mongolian Institute for Strategic Studies. Professor Lee Eun-Jeung (Freie Universität Berlin) and Dr Eric Ballbach (German Institute for International and Security Affairs) from Germany took part. In an interview conducted by Niels Hegewisch, representative of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Mongolia, they discussed the UBD and the current security situation in Northeast Asia, in particular on the Korean Peninsula.
