Moon: War-End Declaration to Offer New Hope, Courage

President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday said declaring a formal end to the Korean War will offer new hope and courage to everyone wishing for peace around the world. During Seoul and Washington's joint repatriation ceremony for war remains at Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii, Moon said complete peace on the Korean Peninsula is what the fallen heroes would want most. This comes after Moon, while addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, suggested that the two Koreas, the U.S. and possibly China jointly push for the end-of-war declaration to open an era of reconciliation and cooperation. The president said based on the alliance with the U.S., which has become a comprehensive partnership of shared values, the two sides will remain steadfast in efforts to achieve the peninsula's complete denuclearization and establishment of lasting peace.

N. Korea rejects Moon's proposal of end-of-war declaration as 'premature'

North Korea on Friday rejected President Moon Jae-in's proposal to declare a formal end to the 1950-53 war as "something premature," arguing that such a declaration would be meaningless as long as the U.S. "hostile policy" remains unchanged. Vice Foreign Minister Ri Thae-song made the rejection in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, saying that an end-of-war declaration has "no legal binding force" and will "become a mere scrap of paper in a moment upon changes in situations." "There is no vouch that the mere declaration of the termination of the war would lead to the withdrawal of the hostile policy toward the DPRK, under the present situation on the peninsula inching close to a touch-and-go situation," he said.

 

Moon back in Seoul with war remains from U.S., repatriation ceremony held at military base

South Korea held a repatriation ceremony Thursday night for 68 sets of war remains right after President Moon Jae-in arrived at a military airport here following a five-day visit to the United States. Just ahead of his departure from Hawaii, he attended a joint ceremony with the U.S. for the handover of the remains of troops killed in the 1950-53 Korean War. South Korea received 68 sets of remains. The caskets containing the remains of two identified soldiers -- Pfc. Kim Seok-joo and Pfc. Jung Hwan-jo -- were carried by Moon's Air Force One presidential jet. The other remains, still unidentified, were airlifted by a South Korean military transport aircraft. As they entered South Korea's air defense identification zone, known as KADIZ, four F-15K fighter jets escorted and deployed 21 flares each to honor their return.

South Korea's daily coronavirus cases stayed above 1,700 for the third day in a row Thursday due to fewer tests during the three-day Chuseok holiday, the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving, but concerns run high over a potential resurgence across the country down the road. The country reported 1,716 new COVID-19 cases, including 1,698 local infections, raising the total caseload to 292,699, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). The latest caseload was slightly down from 1,720 on Wednesday. Daily cases have stayed over 1,000 for the last 79 days amid the fast spread of the more transmissible delta variant nationwide. The country reported eight more deaths from COVID-19 on the day, bringing the death toll to 2,427.

Tighter regulations on digital sex crime take effect

Police will be able to conduct undercover investigations in digital sex crime cases, and online grooming of minors will be punishable by law from Friday, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family said Thursday. Online grooming, which was difficult to punish due to a lack of legal grounds, will now face a fine of up to 30 million won ($25,400) or three years in jail, according to the revised Act on the Protection of Children and Youth against Sex Offenses. Before the revision, only the act of luring children or talking to them on the web with the intent of paying them for sex was punishable. Online grooming, in which adults befriending minors and building up their trust in order to sexually abuse them, was not in itself a criminal offense until now.

 

Top Seoul, Washington, Tokyo envoys affirm cooperation on NK’s denuclearization

AUKUS comes as pressure on Seoul to join anti-China campaign

AUKUS, a new trilateral security partnership between the U.K., Australia and the U.S., is placing indirect pressure on South Korea to join Washington's campaign to contain an assertive China, and throwing a new challenge for the Moon Jae-in administration's balancing act between the two superpowers. AUKUS became the subject of South Korea's diplomacy during a summit between President Moon and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson in New York, Monday (local time). According to presidential spokeswoman Park Kyung-mee, Johnson told Moon that "AUKUS will not cause any regional problems," and Moon responded, "I hope AUKUS will contribute to regional peace and prosperity."

 

'Not yet': North Korea opposed to formally ending Korean War

North Korea on Friday rejected President Moon Jae-in's proposal to declare a formal end to the 1950-53 war as "something premature," arguing that such a declaration would be meaningless as long as the U.S. "hostile policy" remains unchanged. Vice Foreign Minister Ri Thae-song made the rejection in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, saying that an end-of-war declaration has "no legal binding force" and will "become a mere scrap of paper in a moment upon changes in situations."

Fed signals bond-buying taper coming 'soon,' rate hike next year

The Federal Reserve said on Wednesday it will likely begin reducing its monthly bond purchases as soon as November and signaled interest rate increases may follow more quickly than expected as the U.S. central bank's turn from pandemic crisis policies gains momentum. The slight hawkish tilt was signaled in a new policy statement and economic projections that showed nine of 18 Fed officials ready to raise interest rates next year in response to inflation that the central bank now expects to run at 4.2 percent this year, more than double its 2 percent target rate. A drawdown of the central bank's $120 billion in monthly bond purchases could begin after the Nov. 2-3 policy meeting as long as U.S. job growth through September is "reasonably strong, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a news conference following the central bank's latest two-day session.

More Vaccinated Koreans Plan Overseas Travel

A growing number of Koreans are planning for overseas travel again as vaccinations pick up and restrictions are being dropped in some countries. This year's Chuseok was a damp squib at home as Korea remains in lockdown, but some destinations promised greater freedoms. One group of about 60 travelers left Incheon International Airport for Guam for a five-day trip on the morning of Sept. 18, the first day of the Chuseok holiday. It was officially the first group package tour in a year and a half. According to Incheon International Airport Corporation on Wednesday, a total of 31,545 travelers left for overseas destinations over Chuseok, a daily average of 5,258 and nearly double the number during the same period last year.

 

Moon Repeats Call to Declare End to Korean War

President Moon Jae-in on Monday reiterated a call to formally end the Korean War even as North Korea is restarting production of weapons-grade nuclear materials. "I propose that three parties of the two Koreas and the U.S., or four parties of the two Koreas, the U.S. and China come together and declare that the War on the Korean Peninsula is over," Moon told the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. He made no mention of North Korea's recent missile tests and restarting of plutonium and uranium production at Yongbyon. Earlier, Raphael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told a general meeting in Austria that North Korea's nuclear program is a "clear violation" of UN Security Council resolutions.

 

Over 100,000 Chinese to Vote in Local Elections Here

More than 100,000 Chinese residents with voting rights are expected to cast their ballots in Korea's local elections next June. According to the National Assembly Budget Office, 95,767 Chinese residents in Korea had voting rights as of the end of June this year, accounting for 78.4 percent of all foreigners with voting rights here. That means they could sway the ballot in some areas where they are concentrated. Foreigners over 18 who have lived in Korea for three years after obtaining permanent residency can vote in local elections but not in presidential or general ones. Meanwhile, 1.22 million foreigners have signed up for national health insurance benefits over the last five years, and they have 194,133 dependents who also benefit. One Syrian national has nine dependents under his name.

Moon stresses importance of declaration to end Korean War in final UN speech

In the final address to the UN of his term, South Korean President Moon Jae-in stressed the importance of declaring an end to the Korean War as a way of opening the door to peace on the Korean Peninsula. In effect, he signaled his commitment to seeing through the Korean Peninsula peace process. But the likelihood of that actually happening appears slim amid the ongoing US-China rivalry and the current chill in inter-Korean relations. Moon gave a keynote speech at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Today, I once again urge the community of nations to mobilize its strengths for the end-of-war declaration on the Korean Peninsula and propose that three parties of the two Koreas and the US, or four parties of the two Koreas, the US and China come together and declare that the war on the Korean Peninsula is over,” he said.

 

Moon prioritizes vaccine diplomacy while in US

South Korean President Moon Jae-in made further progress on “vaccine diplomacy” while visiting the US to attend the UN General Assembly. Moon attended a signing ceremony for vaccine cooperation between South Korea and the US in New York on Wednesday. During the ceremony, Cytiva, an American producer of raw and supplementary materials for vaccines, announced plans to invest US$52.5 million in building a manufacturing facility in South Korea. Broad cooperation on everything from supplying raw and supplementary materials to developing and producing vaccines will further strengthen the foundation for vaccine production in our two countries,” Moon said.

 

S. Korea ranks No. 5 on Global Innovation Index, No. 1 in Asia

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized agency of the UN, ranked South Korea as fifth on its Global Innovation Index, which it published on Monday. Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korean Intellectual Property Office noted that this was Korea’s highest-ever spot on the index, as well as the best showing for an Asian country. In this survey of 132 countries, the top four spots were claimed by Switzerland, Sweden, the US and the UK — the same as last year. Korea’s fifth-place ranking was the highest in Asia, followed by Singapore at eighth, China at 12th, and Japan at 13th. Korea rose five ranks from last year (10th), which was the highest jump in innovation capability among the top 20 countries in the index.

Pres. Moon pays homage to fallen heroes of Korean War

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said in a joint ceremony between South Korea and the United States in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Wednesday (local time) for transfer of the remains of South Korean and U.S. troops killed during the Korean War that a declaration of the end of war will bring hope and courage not only to people on the Korean Peninsula but also to everyone else who longs for peace. Becoming the first South Korean president to preside over the ceremony in question, President Moon took it as another opportunity following a keynote speech in the U.N. General Assembly held on the previous day to emphasize the need to declare the end of war as part of his efforts to handle the current stalemate in the denuclearization process around the end of his presidential term.

 

Foreign minister’s remark siding with China under fire

Speaking at the 76th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday (local time), President Moon Jae-in proposed that three parties of the two Koreas and the U.S., or four parties of the two Koreas, the U.S. and China come together and declare that the War on the Korean Peninsula is over. With eight months left in his term, President Moon revived his call for end of war declaration as the first step, which would lead to progress toward denuclearization from North Korea. In his last speech at the U.N. General Assembly as the South Korean President, President Moon did not mention North Korea’s provocations, including the recent launch of ballistic missiles.

A String of Figures Opposed by the NPS Reappointed as Corporate Directors: NPS Successfully Blocked Only 7 of 174 Appointments

The National Pension Service of Korea (NPS), as a shareholder, might vote against the appointment of a corporate director or auditor, but the state pension service’s opinion was not likely to determine the outcome. In reality the state pension is limited, for it only owns a small portion of shares compared to the shares in favor of the company’s founding families, but experts argue that the NPS should be more active in its responsibilities as a trustee of the national pension and make more efforts to persuade other shareholders. According to the information that Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Ko Young-in, a member of the parliamentary Health and Welfare Committee, secured form the National Pension Service on September 22, the NPS voted against the appointments of 174 directors and auditors at companies where the NPS was a shareholder in the first half of this year. But the state pension was only successful in blocking seven of the appointments (4%).

 

President Moon Ponders over His Message at the UN as North Korea Continues Missile Provocations

Due to the recent string of missile tests by North Korea, President Moon is carefully thinking about what message he should send the North when he attends the United Nations (UN) General Assembly next week. Changes to the president’s keynote address seem inevitable at his last UN General Assembly as president. Originally, he had planned to emphasize the two Koreas working toward dialogue for peace on the Korean Peninsula. President Moon will go on a five-day trip to New York in September 19-23 to attend the 76th UN General Assembly. Initially, the president was going to express his determination to continue efforts for dialogue and cooperation to improve inter-Korean relations and to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula, since this year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the two Koreas simultaneously joining the UN. President Moon had also planned to ask the international community to continue supporting the South Korean government’s efforts to completely denuclearize the peninsula and establish permanent peace.

 

The U.S. Knew, But Opposed a Counter Coup d’etat to Oust Chun Doo-hwan

The United States detected movements for a “counter coup d’etat” to oust Chun Doo-hwan inside the South Korean military after the coup d’etat on December 12, but opposed the second coup believing that an attempt to return things back to before December 12 would result in disaster. Such facts were confirmed for the first time in U.S. diplomatic documents. In declassified U.S. government documents on the May 18 Democratic Uprising, which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently received from the Jimmy Carter Library, there is a document from the U.S. Embassy in South Korea to the U.S. State Department dated February 1, 1980, reporting on an anti-Chun Doo-hwan scheme inside the South Korean military. It also cites the real name of the person who gave the U.S. this information as General Rhee Bomb June for the first time. General Rhee is thought to be the deputy minister of defense industry in the defense ministry at the time, who was an older graduate (8th class graduate) of the Korean Military Academy than Chun Doo-hwan (11th class graduate).

Seoul to allow individual investors to borrow stocks for 90 days for short sale

Individuals can borrow Korean stocks for short sale for 90 days, increased from 60 days, starting November, and can extend the loan upon expiry in new incentives to bring retailers closer to the complex investment activity. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) announced Thursday that individual investors will have up to 90 days to borrow stocks for short sale starting November 1. They will also be allowed to extend payback deadline for multiple times, the FSC said. The rule revision is aimed at providing better access to short sale transactions to retail investors, according to the financial authority, as there has been an increasing number of amateur investors who use short position as their investment strategy to take advantage of stock price volatility.
