In an July 31, 2013 online article of Voice of America, Jeffrey Lewis commented on the announcement from North Korea that long-range rockets will be launched soon. He was quoted saying that he expects “regular launches for the foreseeable future” even though North Korean officials avoided to respond when he asked them directly in an earlier encounter.

Jeffrey Lewis joined the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in 2010 and became the Director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program.
