A South Korean fighter jet conducted a patrol flight on Tuesday over islands at the centre of a bitter dispute with Japan, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said at an event marking the founding of the South Korean military.
US President Donald Trump and his South Korean counterpart, Moon Jae-in, plan to hold a summit in Washington DC on April 11, the South Korean presidential office said in a statement on Friday.
In an aim to reduce inconvenience of the residents staying near the inter-Korean border, the South Korean government on Wednesday gave its nod to lift the classification of certain restricted zones that host military facilities.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s approval rating has dipped below 50 percent for the first time, a poll showed Thursday, as economic hardship bites and concerns rise over a rapid drive toward reconciliation with the North.
“North Korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site. This is very good news for North Korea and the world – big progress! Look forward to our summit,” US President wrote on Twitter.
North Korea test-launched a ballistic missile that landed in the Sea of Japan. The launch is a direct challenge to the new South Korean president elected four days ago
