![]() As a new United States administration prepares to take its place, participants emphasised the need for an ongoing bilateral commitment to fully and expeditiously implement the establishment of new US-DPRK relations efforts to build a lasting peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. This includes the historic 2018 inter-Korean Panmunjom Declaration, as well as US-DPRK agreements. Participants confirmed the unchanged importance of respecting prior agreements regarding the Korean Peninsula, and an upscaling of efforts to ensure their implementation. Although the online format meant that fill inclusive participation by members from all parts of the region was not possible, this was a productive opportunity for members to reaffirm their ongoing priority – that peace for the Korean Peninsula and for Northeast Asia is urgent, and that civil society, governments and other actors must work together towards this goal. Civil society participants from throughout the region and from the United States gathered virtually at this unique moment, with its serious challenges not only for economic and public health reasons, but also for peace and security. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) Northeast Asia convened the sixth annual meeting of the Ulaanbaatar Process online over several dates in late November-early December.
