Int'l peace forum expected to draw thousands to Jeju Island

An annual international peace forum kicked off on Wednesday on South Korea's southern island of Jeju.

The 20th Jeju Forum is expected to draw four thousand people from 30 different nations.

Throughout the three-day event, which will run until this Friday, discussions will be held on various geopolitical issues, including changes to the diplomatic landscape following U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election to a second term.

Under this year's theme of 'harnessing innovation for peace and prosperity,' the forum will also address ways to maintain stability on the Korean Peninsula, as well as ways to enhance multilateral cooperation on maritime security.
