The SAND Institute will communicate with the world through our newsletter. We will keep an eye on the turbulent developments in the international community and work with you in seeking wisdom for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula.

It will publish the Newsletter by SAND to communicate with the international community. Based in Seoul, we have made many researches and produced meaningful results in various areas, including North Korea, inter-Korean relations, and the changing order in Northeast Asia since our foundation.

Up to date, a lot about the reality of North Korea under Kim Jong-un has been revealed to the international community through various studies and fact-checking by various North Korean watchers

However, despite the efforts and achievements made by these experts, the validity of information on issues related to North Korea is still difficult to assured because its accuracy is often not verified. It is also true that North Korea's provocations with nuclear and missile tests are repeated, being hardly checked by anybody, while the international community has been able to offer only short-sighted responses without being able to find fundamental solutions to such issues as hereditary power succession, economic crisis and human rights abuse in North Korea.

In response to such a call of the time, the newly published Newsletter by SAND will look into North Korea through the lens of universal human values and paradigm and share the results with the international community. We will present high-quality information on North Korea and a vision for Korean unification based on various analyses and diagnoses by experts from North and South Korea as well as the international community.

We are, nevertheless, hesitant and scared because it is our first attempt to do so, but we will walk down the path believing that the meaningful and just international community will eventually join us in our journey to seek truth about North Korea. We ask for your kind support. Thank you.
