By exploring the 1979 World Table Tennis Championships in Pyongyang, this study hopes to expand the discourse on North Korea’s sports diplomacy and examine the process and outcome it had on creating diplomatic avenues for communication, exchange, and engagement with the United States. This article analyzes the failures and successes as well as strategies of North Korea’s ping-pong diplomacy and the impact it had on North Korea’s policy towards the United States.
