The martial law declaration lasted only six hours, but a year later, the animosity it unleashed lives on. Those six short hours fundamentally rewired South Korean politics, seeping into the very bones of the party system and the identities of partisans. koreaherald.com/article/106280…

Our nations are bound by shared values and a common outlook on the Indo-Pacific region. @Jaemyung_Lee

President Lee Jae Myung said his upcoming summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi could take South Korea-India relations to “a completely different level.” koreaherald.com/article/107205…

This shows the long gap in Korea-India top-level exchanges. Since the last formal Summit, world has been hit by a polycrisis - pandemics, conflicts, climate change. Beyond bilateral ties, the Summit is long overdue, but a welcome chance to navigate what lies ahead together🇰🇷🇮🇳

France and the United Kingdom convened 51 countries to launch an initiative for maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict must be resolved through diplomatic means in order to ensure peace and security for all. The statement: elysee.fr/en/emmanuel-ma…

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

President Lee Jae Myung said South Korea was prepared to make a “tangible contribution” to securing passage through the Strait of Hormuz, voicing concern over the closure’s far-reaching impact on the global economy and supply chains. koreaherald.com/article/107200…
