In this episode, we look at the Arctic from the perspective of Asia. As the Arctic changes, it’s becoming a space of global concern, not only for the Arctic states, but also for countries around the world. The region is emerging as a new frontier: economically, scientifically, and politically. And with that, new questions are arising around how Arctic and non-Arctic states can work together. So, what does the future of the Arctic look like?  This conversation brings together voices from across Asia:Byung-ha Chung, Ambassador for Polar Affairs, Republic of KoreaSam Tan Chin Siong, Special Envoy for Arctic Affairs, SingaporeRear Admiral TVN Prasanna, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Government of India Moderating the Session was Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, Chairman Arctic Circle and former President of Iceland.
