"The deployment of the F-35 will serve as momentum to enhance the combined operations of the ROK-U.S. Air Forces and advance ROK Air Force's support capabilities for ground operations."
Water: Right of each of us and challenge of all
Access to drinking water and basic sanitation is a right and one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. It is a condition for human life. However, up to two billion people on the planet do not have access to a safe source of water at home, and up to 2.3 billion people suffer from lack of sanitation. Approximately 260 million people—more than the entire population of Brazil—must walk more than thirty minutes to gather water. Guaranteeing access to water is one of the main challenges of our time.

S. Korean Men's Smoking Rate Drops Below 40%
The smoking rate among South Korean male adults has fallen below 40 percent. According to a national survey conducted on 228-thousand-381 adults by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(KCDC) and health centers across the country, 39-point-three percent of South Korean men were smoking last year, down by one-point-four percentage points from a year earlier. It is even lower than 39-point-four percent in 2015, when the government raised the price per pack of cigarettes by two-thousand won. The KCDC credited the drop in male smoking rate to the use of graphic antismoking warnings and the expansion of smoking-free zones.

The prosecution said that Park’s first instructions for all-out rescue efforts were issued at 10:22 a.m. on April, 16th 2014. The presidential office had said that the orders were already out by 10:15.

Kim urges 'goodwill' on denuclearization
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for Seoul and its allies to take measures corresponding to steps taken by Pyongyang. In his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday, Kim reiterated that denuclearization of the peninsula is the “will of the ancestors,” but called on Seoul and Washington to take progressive steps. The surprise meeting between Kim and Xi was held in Beijing, marking Kim’s first trip outside North Korea since taking power in 2011. His visit was confirmed by Chinese and North Korean media on Wednesday. Kim was accompanied by his wife Ri Sol-ju, and top-ranking officials including Choe Ryong-hae and Kim Yong-chol.

The Korea Times (http://www.koreatimes.co.kr)
Kim Jong-un offers conditional denuclearization
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un offered to give up his nuclear weapons during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing if Seoul and Washington take "phased" steps for peace and stability, according to Chinese media reports. "We voluntarily offered dialogue to the South and the United States, and have since taken appropriate steps to ease tension on the peninsula," Kim was quoted as saying during the summit by China Central Television (CCTV) and Xinhua News Agency, Wednesday. Kim returned to Pyongyang the same day after a four-day visit to Beijing"Once the U.S. and South Korea take phased and simultaneous measures in response to our peace efforts, the issue of denuclearization of the peninsula can be resolved," the young dictator said.
Former President Park's aides fabricated Sewol records
The prosecution said Wednesday that ex-President Park Geun-hye's administration fabricated the times she was first informed about the Sewol ferry sinking and orders she gave to take action. According to prosecutors, Park received the first report on the incident at 10:20 a.m. on April 16, 2014, which was 20 minutes later than stated on the then-administration log. Park also ordered former head of the National Security Office (NSO) Kim Jang-soo to begin rescue operations at 10:22 a.m., not at 10:15 a.m, the prosecutors found.The seven minutes difference wasted time that rescuers could have used to save more of the 476 passengers onboard. The disaster cost 304 lives, mostly high school students on a trip to Jeju Island on the 6,800-ton ferry.
British Airways hit again for lost luggage
Han Song-e promised herself that she will never travel with British Airways again, after the airline lost her baggage on her flight from London to Barcelona, but didn't make any effort to find it. Han found her belongings by herself through social media.The carrier also refused to fully compensate her for the cost of daily necessities she had to purchase in Spain. Han was on a business trip and when she arrived in Barcelona on the evening of February 25, she received a text from British Airways that her luggage was not loaded on the same plane she traveled on. After submitting a loss report to the local bureau, she was told they would bring her baggage to her hotel room by 10 p.m. However, when a suitcase arrived at 2 a.m., Han realized it was not hers.

Kim Jong-un Wants 'Phased' Approach to Denuclearization
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday, "The issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can be solved if South Korea and the U.S. respond to our efforts with goodwill, create an atmosphere of peace and stability."The Chinese Foreign Ministry quoted Kim as saying this requires "phased and simultaneous steps for peace."This is the first time Kim has mentioned denuclearization. Kim's chief aim seems to ease crippling international sanctions.

Restoring relations with China could give North Korea additional leverage in talks with US
A surprise summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly took place on Mar. 27. This was a dramatic development at a sensitive time before the inter-Korean summit next month and the North Korea-US summit in May. This is taken to mean a restoration of North Korea and China’s traditionally friendly relations, which had been strained since Kim Jong-un came to power in late 2011. It also appears to signal that the mood for dialogue on the Korean Peninsula that gained momentum during the Pyeongchang Olympics is expanding into wide-ranging dialogue between the various related players, including South Korea, North Korea, the US and China. The big question is how what the renewed atmosphere for dialogue, reconciliation and coexistence portends for the future of the Korean Peninsula.
Strained relationship with US leads Beijing to improve ties with North Korea
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s surprise meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is being read as signaling his commitment to playing a leading role and preventing China from being bypassed on Korean Peninsula issues. It also appears to tie in with China’s uneasy relations with the US amid the recent “trade war” and the US’s passage of the Taiwan Travel Act. It’s a situation that requires efforts from Beijing to improve its ties with North Korea.As Pyongyang and Beijing’s ties reached an all-time low with North Korea’s nuclear and missile development programs and China’s participation in sanctions, fears mounted in China that the country was losing its influence on Korean Peninsula matters. Some had begun to argue that Beijing was being “bypassed,” noting that it did not figure into recent announcements of planned inter-Korean and North Korea-US summits.
GM presses Korean government on foreign investment zones, due diligence investigation
During a meeting with government officials on Mar. 27, GM International President Barry Engle asked once again for the government’s cooperation and support with GM Korea’s application for the designation of foreign investment zones and also with the Korea Development Bank’s (KDB) due diligence investigation of GM Korea. During a meeting with leaders of the GM Korea labor union the previous day, Engle mentioned the possibility of the company going bankrupt because of its financial difficulties and pressured them to quickly reach a tentative agreement in their collective bargaining.

Kim Jong-un makes diplomatic debut in Beijing
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made an unannounced visit to China from Monday to Tuesday on the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korea and China’s state news media confirmed Wednesday, an international diplomatic debut for a young leader who’s only weeks away from holding summits with Seoul and Washington.It was Kim’s first known trip outside North Korea since he took power in December 2011 following his father’s death, and his first meeting with another government leader. Rumors spread quickly Tuesday that either he or another high-level official from Pyongyang was in Beijing for talks with Xi, though neither the North Korean, Chinese or South Korean government gave any confirmation.
Seven-hour mystery about Park, Sewol solved
On the day of the sinking of the Sewol ferry in 2014, then-President Park Geun-hye spent crucial early hours when people could have been saved in her bedroom. As the hours passed, Park met with confidante Choi Soon-sil and got her hair done before starting to deal with the unfolding tragedy, according to a prosecution announcement on Wednesday. The prosecution concluded that the entire timeline offered by the Park administration about her activities the day of the accident, which killed 304 people, was a fabrication aimed at covering up her slow responses. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office announced the outcome of its investigation into the Park government’s handling of the ferry disaster. Park’s absence in the critical early hours of a lackluster rescue operation generated enough controversy to be branded the “seven-hour mystery.”
BOK projects GNI will pass $30,000 this year
Korea’s central bank projected Wednesday that gross national income per capita would surpass $30,000 at some point this year, helped by robust growth in 2017.The $30,000 mark has long been regarded by Korean officials as the threshold to enter the ranks of truly developed economies. The fanfare around the figure, though, disguises the actual welfare of many individuals who feel left out of the country’s rapid economic development.The Bank of Korea said GNI per capita stood at $29,745 in 2017 based on its preliminary estimate, up 7.5 percent from 2016, the highest increase in six years. A central bank official said reaching the $30,000 mark this year was a “sure thing” if Korea keeps its current pace of economic growth and inflation

NK Train Returns from China: Kim Jong-un Speculated to Be on the Train
A North Korean delegation, which seems to include the nation’s highest ranking officials, concluded a two-day visit to Beijing, China amidst heavy security and protocol fit for state leaders on March 27. North Korean and Chinese authorities have not released any related details, but a series of reports by the foreign press quoting anonymous sources claimed that Kim Jong-un, chairman of North Korea's State Affairs Commission visited China, putting more weight on the possibility of a state visit to China by Chairman Kim.The train carrying the North Korean delegation departed from Beijing Station at around 3 p.m. (local time) this day, according to the Associated Press (AP). The train left 25 hours after it arrived at Beijing Station at 2 p.m. on March 26. The destination of the train that departed from Beijing was not confirmed, but it is likely for the train to head straight home or to go to Pyongyang after stopping at a third location.
Prosecutors to Question MB in Prison for the First Time, "We Won't Ask the Same Questions"
On March 25, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office announced that prosecutors would question former President Lee in the interrogation room at the Seoul Eastern Detention Center in Munjeong-dong, Seoul at 2 p.m. on March 26. Shin Bong-su, chief prosecutor of the High-Tech Criminal Investigation Department 1, and another prosecutor with some investigators will question the former president.Chief Prosecutor Shin has been investigating the former president's criminal allegations concerning DAS, including the embezzlement of 34.8 billion won of corporate funds.He questioned the former president at the Prosecutors' Office on March 14 along with Song Gyeong-ho, chief prosecutor of Special Crimes Department 2, who investigated the former president's bribery charges in connection to the National Intelligence Service and the private sector.
President Proposes Constitutional Amendments, But Will the National Assembly Neglect Its Responsibility?
Cheong Wa Dae announced that President Moon Jae-in would propose the constitutional amendments on March 26 as scheduled. When the amendment is approved in the cabinet meeting this morning, President Moon will send the amendment to the National Assembly through the electronic approval system from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and approve the announcement of the president's proposal to complete the procedures involved in proposing the constitutional amendment. This will be the first proposal of a constitutional amendment in thirty years, since the Constitution was last amended in 1987. But the National Assembly, which should be at the center of discussions on constitutional amendments, continues to engage in a tense battle of nerves up until the eve of the proposal. The ruling Democratic Party of Korea claimed that the door opened for constitutional amendments with the president's proposal, but the major opposition, the Liberty Korea Party made an opposing argument, calling for the opposition parties to come together in joint action. We find it devastating to witness how irresponsible the National Assembly and the ruling and opposition parties can be.

Seoul, Washington announce agreement on revised FTA
Seoul and Washington announced their agreement on a revised free trade accord that reflected President Donald Trump's drive to pry open the South Korean market wider to American cars and products.The revised agreement addresses issues related to investment, tariffs, trade in automobiles and trade remedies, the two countries said in a joint statement, adding progress was also made in pharmaceuticals, customs and textiles. "The nations have agreed on terms for a country exemption for South Korea from the tariff imposed on steel imports," it said.Trade officials in Seoul said that South Korea steel products shipped under an annual import quota would not be slapped with a 25 percent tariff. South Korea would allow imports of 50,000 cars annually for each American company and ease emission standards for five years from 2021. The United States would maintain a 25 percent tariff on South Korean pickup trucks by 2041.
Man arrested for killing newly-married wife with nicotine for death benefit
A 22-year-old man was arrested Wednesday for killing her wife with a lethal dose of nicotine during their honeymoon in Japan to get her death benefit, police said.Police in the southern city of Sejong said the man was accused of killing his 19-year-old wife during their honeymoon in Osaka on April 25 last year in an attempt to claim her insurance money worth 150 million won (140,187 US dollars). He allegedly used a crude liquid of nicotine for his murder and reported to Japanese police that his wife committed suicide. The body was cremated in Japan on consent from her family.The man argued he helped his wife to commit suicide, but police arrested him, based on his diary that contained a homicide plan and also on the outcome of an autopsy from Japanese investigators. If convicted, it would be the country's second murder case using nicotine, a highly unusual weapon that's difficult to detect in a dead body.
