Why South Korea's next leader should revive 6-party nuclear talks
South Korea is heading to a presidential election on June 3, triggered by the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol after his bungled attempt at martial law. Lee Jae-myung , leader of the opposition Democratic Party, is a clear front-runner. With the formation of a Lee administration in South Korea looking likely, the United States would have a rare opportunity to explore North Korea's denuclearisation. Advertisement US President Donald Trump has boasted of his close connection to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, with whom he had summit meetings during his first term. Trump might want to prove himself as a peacemaker and great statesman by resolving the denuclearisation issue. Indeed, Trump has indicated his willingness to meet Kim again: in January, days into his second administration, and again in February and March. At the same time, South Korea's Lee is widely expected to pursue a friendlier policy towards North Korea – and China – than former president Yoon. This would create a favourable environment for denuclearisation. During the previous Biden administration in the US, Yoon failed to forge a balanced and viable strategy to engage with North Korea. There is a high probability that a Trump-Lee duo could do better on North Korea. Given Lee's attitude towards China, his government could be positive for the international landscape. China wants to see peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and to foster economic prosperity across Northeast Asia. More specifically, it needs North Korea as a buffer zone against the US and its allies. That is why North Korea's survival and peace on the Korean Peninsula are important to it. Advertisement

N.Korea detains three officials over failed warship launch
North Korea reportedly detained three officials after one of the country's warships was damaged during its launch ceremony. The Sunday edition of the ruling Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said the three, including the chief engineer of the shipyard, are responsible for the incident that occurred on Wednesday at a shipyard in the country's northeast. Satellite imagery shows the 5,000-ton destroyer, covered in blue tarps, lying on its side, partially submerged. The vessel apparently lost balance when its bow failed to detach from the shipway. The newspaper also reported that there is no additional damage to the warship and repair work is underway as scheduled. Leader Kim Jong Un has given instructions to restore the vessel before the plenary meeting of the party's Central Committee, which is scheduled to convene in late June.
