North Korea's Kim Jong Un leads meeting on strengthening military, inspects artillery drill
SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un led a party meeting on strengthening the military on May 28 and inspected an artillery drill on May 29, state media KCNA said on May 30.
In an expanded meeting of the 8th Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, Mr Kim emphasised that roles of party organisations carrying out measures from the central leadership should be strengthened to solve "all the problems arising in the army building and military activities."
Mr Kim also said it is "very important to frequently organise firing contests close to the actual warfare environment" to build a powerful military force, KCNA said.
This was the latest in a series of moves by Mr Kim reported by KCNA focused on strengthening the military in the past weeks.
During May alone, Mr Kim visited tanks and munitions plants, led a short-range missile test and an air drill, and condemned a failed warship launch as "criminal," according to state media. REUTERS

South Korean president unveils 1st batch of key nominations including prime minister, top aides

PHOTO: EPA-EFE President Lee Jae-myung unveiled key nominations on his first day of presidency on June 4 , including the prime minister nominee and his presidential aides, in his first briefing to reporters after entering the presidential office in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. At a briefing room of the presidential office, Mr Lee announced that he had picked four-term Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Rep. Mr Kim Min-seok as the nominee for the prime minister of South Korea. Mr Lee said Mr Kim, 61, was the right fit for the position, which Mr Lee described as 'a mediator between the Cabinet and people'. Mr Lee touted Mr Kim's vast experience in politics, capability to execute policies to improve people's quality of life and expertise in handling international affairs. Mr Kim has served as the senior member of the Democratic Party's supreme council since Lee chaired the party. Recently, Mr Kim was one of the co-chairs of Mr Lee's presidential campaign team. Under the National Assembly Act, Mr Kim may serve as both the prime minister and a lawmaker, so he may retain his parliamentary seat. In addition, Mr Lee Jong-seok was nominated as the chief of the National Intelligence Service, the spy agency of South Korea. The 67-year-old would be the right person to safeguard South Korea's national interest in the face of international trade fluctuations, President Lee said. The NIS chief nominee formerly served as the minister of unification and led the standing committee of South Korea's National Security Council during the late former liberal president Roh Moo-hyun's term. President Lee described him as capable of seeking a breakthrough from the strained relationship between the two Koreas. Before the liberal president's final approval, Mr Kim Min-seok and Mr Lee Jong-seok's nominations would require a confirmation hearing at the National Assembly, where the major liberal party holds the majority of seats. Three-term Democratic Party lawmaker Rep. Kang Hoon-sik, 51, was tapped as the presidential chief of staff. President Lee's office also stated that Mr Kang became the first chief of staff to have been born in 1970 or later, which would allow the Lee administration to add speed to its handling of state affairs. Mr Kang has represented the Asan-B constituency in South Chungcheong Province since 2016. Rep. Wi Sung-lac of the Democratic Party was picked as the national security adviser for the liberal president. Mr Wi was formerly the South Korean ambassador to Russia. President Lee's office said Mr Wi played a crucial role in crafting the president's campaign pledges on foreign affairs and national security. Both Mr Kang and Mr Wi were to lose their positions as members of the National Assembly. Mr Lee also named Rep. Kang Yu-jung of the Democratic Party as the presidential spokesperson, and tapped Mr Hwang In-kwon, a former four-star army general, as the new leader of the Presidential Security Service. President Lee told reporters that all the figures he nominated are not only loyal to the people, but also competent, adding that these two personality traits would continue to be the barometer for his future nominations. The president also said during the briefing that he would not rush to nominate ministers related to South Korea's economy and industry, or carry out an overhaul of the organisation of the presidential office.

North Korea's Kim vows 'unconditional support' for Russia's war in Ukraine
SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to "unconditionally support" Russia in all areas including in its war in Ukraine, Pyongyang's state media said on Thursday (Jun 5). North Korea has become one of Moscow's main allies during its more than three-year Ukraine offensive, sending thousands of troops to help the Kremlin oust Ukrainian forces from Russia's Kursk border region. Meeting top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu on Wednesday, Kim said that Pyongyang would "unconditionally support the stand of Russia and its foreign policies in all the crucial international political issues including the Ukrainian issue", the Korean Central News Agency reported. Kim "expressed expectation and conviction that Russia would, as ever, surely win victory in the sacred cause of justice", KCNA said. The two sides agreed to "continue to dynamically expand" relations, the state news agency reported. Russia and North Korea signed a sweeping military deal last year, including a mutual defence clause, during a rare visit by Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the nuclear-armed North. Around 600 North Korean soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded fighting for Russia, according to South Korean lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun, citing the country's intelligence service. North Korea in April confirmed for the first time that it had deployed troops to Russia to support Moscow's war in Ukraine – and admitted that its troops had been killed in combat. South Korea has also accused the nuclear-armed North of sending container-loads of weapons, including missiles, to help Russia's war effort. The visit was Shoigu's second to Pyongyang in less than three months. DEEPENING TIES A multilateral sanctions monitoring group, including South Korea, the United States, Japan and eight other countries, last week condemned ties between Russia and North Korea as "unlawful". According to the group, Russian-flagged cargo vessels delivered as many as "nine million rounds of mixed artillery and multiple rocket launcher ammunition" from North Korea to Russia last year. In return, "Russia is believed to have provided North Korea with air defence equipment and anti-aircraft missiles", it said. The meeting between Kim and Shoigu in Pyongyang came the same day the North's arch-enemy, South Korea, swore in new president Lee Jae-myung. In a speech upon taking office Wednesday, Lee vowed to reach out to the North – a marked departure from his hawkish predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol, under whom relations plummeted to their worst level in years. Lee said Seoul would "deter North Korean nuclear and military provocations while opening communication channels and pursuing dialogue and cooperation to build peace on the Korean Peninsula". KCNA reported on Lee's inauguration in a two-line report on Thursday but did not respond to his overtures for talks. It also issued a commentary on Thursday slamming French President Emmanuel Macron over "imprudent" comments on Pyongyang's ties with Moscow, calling them "shocking claptrap". The commentary by analyst Choe Ju Hyun took aim at comments by the French leader during the recent Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Macron suggested that the NATO defence alliance could become involved in Asia if China did not do more to press North Korea to stop sending forces to help Russia's war in Ukraine. "It is a mistake if Macron thinks that he can cloak NATO's aggressive and wicked intention to put dirty military shoes on the Asia-Pacific region by taking issue with the DPRK-Russia cooperative relations," the commentary said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

US trimming back its collection of consumer price data
Economists said the cuts were the latest blow to a statistical system that was already struggling to maintain the quality of its data. PHOTO: AFP NEW YORK - The Bureau of Labor Statistics is cutting back its collection of data on consumer prices, raising questions about the reliability of federal economic statistics under US President Donald Trump. Every month, a small army of government workers visit stores and other businesses across the country to check prices of eggs, underwear, haircuts, and tens of thousands of other goods and services. The data collected is the basis for the inflation measures that determine cost-of-living increases in union contracts and Social Security benefits and that guide policymakers at the Federal Reserve when they set interest rates, among other applications. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is part of the Labor Department, said on June 4 that it was reducing its collection of price data 'in areas across the country' and that it had stopped gathering data entirely in Buffalo, New York; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Provo, Utah. The agency did not give a specific reason for the cuts, but said it 'makes reductions when current resources can no longer support the collection effort.' Economists said the cuts were the latest blow to a statistical system that was already struggling to maintain the quality of its data in the face of tight budgets and declining response rates to government surveys. William Beach, who led the Bureau of Labor Statistics during Trump's first term, said there was a longer-run concern. If the public loses faith in government data, people and businesses will be less likely to provide the information the agencies rely on – further eroding the quality of the data. 'It has to be gold standard – everything you produce has to be that way,' he said. 'When you start to work around cost issues or personnel issues or political issues from the White House, the numbers begin to suffer and trust drops.'
