South Korea starts removing anti-North Korean loudspeakers on border, Asia News
Shortly after he took office in June, Lee's administration switched off propaganda broadcasts criticising the North Korean regime as it looks to revive stalled dialogue with its neighbour.
But North Korea recently rebuffed the overtures and said it had no interest in talking to South Korea.
The countries remain technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean war ended in a truce and relations have deteriorated in the last few years.
South Korea's dismantling of the loudspeakers from Monday is just a "practical measure to help ease tensions between the South and the North," the ministry said in a statement on Monday.

Pope Leo XIV says 2027 World Youth Day in Seoul to take place Aug 3-8
August 5, 2025 SEOUL – Pope Leo XIV announced on Sunday that the next World Youth Day will be held in Seoul, Korea, from Aug. 3 to 8, 2027. The announcement came just before he led the Angelus — a brief prayer traditionally said at noon in the Catholic Church — at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome. 'With this jubilee concluded, the 'pilgrimage of hope' for young people continues and will take us to Asia,' he said in front of 1 million Jubilee of Youth participants from 146 countries, including Korean pilgrims. As the next host country of World Youth Day, South Korea was represented by around 1,000 young pilgrims, who were given the special honor of being seated closest to the altar. The pope also renewed the invitation first extended by his predecessor. 'I renew the call that Pope Francis made in Lisbon two years ago,' he said, referring to the 2023 World Youth Day in Portugal. The pope described the upcoming event in Seoul as a meaningful step in the faith journey of younger generations. The chosen theme for 2027 is: 'Take courage, I have overcome the world.' 'I look forward to seeing you in Seoul. Let us continue to dream together and to hope together,' he added. Pope Leo XIV's visit to Seoul in 2027 would mark the fourth papal visit to the country and the first since Pope Francis' five-day trip in 2014. Korea is the second Asian country to stage the event after the Philippines in 1995, which drew a record-breaking crowd of 5 million. It would also be the first WYD in a Catholic-minority country. As of the end of 2024, Catholics made up 11.4 percent of South Korea's population, with the total number of adherents reaching nearly 6 million, according to statistics released by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea. World Youth Day, the Catholic Church's largest global gathering of young people, is traditionally attended by the pope. The event was launched in 1986 under Pope John Paul II and has since been held every two to three years. In Korea, preparations are already underway for the 2027 event. The Archdiocese of Seoul expects the concluding Mass of the 2027 World Youth Day to draw at least 400,000 to 500,000 participants, and potentially as many as 700,000 to 800,000, including international and domestic attendees. The World Youth Day Seoul 2027 Local Organizing Committee, headed by Archbishop Peter Soon-taik Chung, is mapping out venues, accommodations, security protocols and outreach strategies to ensure the capital can accommodate one of the largest religious gatherings in its history. With the schedule now finalized, the committee said Sunday it plans to accelerate preparations to ensure the successful hosting of the event. Regarding concerns over intense heat in August, an official at Seoul Archdiocese told The Korea Herald Monday that the committee is 'working to thoroughly review all related matters. However, given that it's unlikely everything will go without issue, we are focusing our efforts on minimizing any potential problems.' South Korea's extreme heat has drawn global attention in the past, most notably during the 2023 World Scout Jamboree in Saemangeum. A combination of intense heat, inadequate sanitation and poor infrastructure at the event led to widespread criticism and the emergency withdrawal of several national delegations. Amid such concerns, calls are growing for the swift passage of a special bill aimed at providing legal and administrative support to ensure World Youth Day Seoul 2027 is successful. In May, members of the Seoul Metropolitan Council issued a statement urging the swift passing of the 'Special Act on Supporting the World Youth Day Seoul 2027,' currently pending in the National Assembly. The legislation would establish a legal foundation for the Seoul Metropolitan Government and all local governments to actively support the hosting of the event. The bill has been pending at the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee since November. 'Korea does not have Christianity as a state religion. And despite being a nation still technically at war, Korea is hosting World Youth Day to offer hope and courage to young people. For that reason, not only the central government and its agencies, but also the host city of Seoul — and all local governments — must unite in full support,' the statement by the Seoul Metropolitan Council read. The council also cited the event's projected economic benefits. A study commissioned by the Korea Development Institute estimates that World Youth Day 2027 will generate approximately 11.37 trillion won ($8.2 billion) in total economic output, 1.59 trillion won in added value, and create around 24,725 jobs.

Character counts as much as grades, Desmond Lee tells students
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Minister for Education Desmond Lee (in red shirt) and Senior Minister of State for Education David Neo (in blue shirt at table behind) at Mayflower Secondary School on July 18. SINGAPORE – Doing well in school is important, but lessons from Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) and daily life are just as – if not more – valuable, Minister for Education Desmond Lee told a class of Secondary 3 students on July 18. 'Doing well in life means knowing how to empathise... knowing what's appropriate to say at the right time, how to pull a team together, how to face difficult situations, and having the resilience to adapt and rise again,' he said after observing a CCE lesson at Mayflower Secondary School in Ang Mo Kio. Mr Lee, together with Senior Minister of State for Education David Neo, attended the CCE lesson in the lead-up to Racial Harmony Day on July 21. They were joined by Senior Minister of State for Education Janil Puthucheary and Minister of State for Education Jasmin Lau in their first school visit together as political office-holders for the Ministry of Education, following their appointments in May. During the lesson, Mr Lee and Mr Neo joined students in groups of five to six, where they discussed scenarios involving cross-cultural interactions – such as interracial relationships – and explored how individuals can navigate these situations with empathy and respect. After sharing initial impressions, each group reflected on ways they could strengthen social cohesion and presented their insights to the class. Addressing the students, Mr Lee said the strength of Singapore's education system lies in balancing academic achievement with personal growth. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

During the school visit, Mr Lee, Mr Neo, Dr Janil and Ms Lau visited student-run booths showcasing traditional snacks from various ethnic communities and played games such as capteh , congkak and five stones. Dr Janil and Ms Lau also observed a lower secondary lesson in which students learnt ways to have respectful conversations that will help them better understand other communities. Fifteen-year-old Danish Khusairy's key takeaway from the lesson was the importance of accepting each other despite differences. Multiculturalism is a key part of Singapore's national identity, he said. 'We should continue to explore different cultures,' he said. 'It's good to have a curious mind, and you should get to know people of other races before making assumptions.' Danish added that he hopes more young people will go beyond just learning English and their mother tongue, and pick up other languages as a way to connect with others across cultures.

Russia's Medvedev warns of further steps after Moscow abandons missile moratorium
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox MOSCOW - Russian former President Dmitry Medvedev blamed NATO countries on Monday for the abandonment of a moratorium on short- and medium-range nuclear missiles and said Moscow would take further steps in response. Medvedev, who has been engaging in a exchange of acerbic barbs on social media with U.S. President Donald Trump, made his comments after Russia's Foreign Ministry said Moscow no longer considered itself bound by the moratorium on the deployment of short- and medium-range nuclear missiles. "The Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on the withdrawal of the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and short-range missiles is the result of NATO countries' anti-Russian policy," Medvedev posted in English on X. "This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps." Medvedev, who now serves as deputy head of Russia's powerful Security Council, did not elaborate. The U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty in 2019, citing Russian non-compliance. Russia has since said it would not deploy such weapons provided that Washington did not do so. However, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signalled last December that Moscow would have to respond to what he called "destabilising actions" by the U.S. and NATO in the strategic sphere. "Since the situation is developing towards the actual deployment of U.S.-made land-based medium- and short-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the conditions for maintaining a unilateral moratorium on the deployment of similar weapons have disappeared," the ministry said in its statement. The INF treaty, signed in 1987 by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, eliminated an entire class of weapons -- ground-launched missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometres (311 to 3,418 miles). Medvedev, seen initially in the West as a potential moderate and reformer, has become one of the most hawkish senior officials on foreign policy in Moscow. Trump last Friday said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be moved to "the appropriate regions" in response to remarks from Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries.
