Although traditional security concerns regarding North Korea still dominate negotiations at diplomatic level, non-traditional security challenges have started to draw public attention since the mid-1990s, when the so-called “Arduous March” was at its peak.

Hi Hyuk,

Yes, your thesis is grammatically correct. Your first verb is talking about the present (present tense), then you reference a time period that is from the past until now (present perfect), and then talk about a time in the past (past tense). Nice work!
