The modern world is navigating complex challenges that intertwine security and economic development. North Korea's growing military capabilities, nuclear ambitions, and support for Russia in the Ukraine conflict are reshaping regional and global dynamics, intensifying tensions in East Asia and complicating alliances. Meanwhile, Ukraine's post-war reconstruction presents an opportunity to rebuild a resilient economy with international support, focusing on governance reforms and infrastructure. These parallel developments underscore the shifting global balance of power and the interplay between security risks and economic recovery.
