As the tensions between North Korea and the United States, as well as other members of the international community, continue to rise, the Penn State School of International Affairs will host a simulation on the complex array of diplomatic issues involved run by the Korean Economic Institute (KEI).

KEI was founded as the first U.S. “non-profit” institution or “think-tank” in 1982 solely dedicated to promoting dialogue and understanding between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the United States on economic, political, and security relations.

KEI is led by President & CEO Donald Manzullo, J.D., former Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Vice President Mark Tokola, LL.M., a 38-year veteran U.S. diplomat and former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.
