Park Geun-hye

The Ministry of Justice announced on Thursday that the international tribunal handling the remanded arbitration suit filed by the US-based hedge fund ordered Seoul to pay forty-eight point four nine million US dollars in damages plus interest.

In 2018, Elliott filed the investor-state dispute settlement based on the South Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, accusing the Park Geun-hye administration of putting pressure on the National Pension Service, then a major stakeholder, to vote in favor of the merger and cause losses for the firm.

The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration ordered South Korea to pay the same amount of damages in 2023, which the government initially sought to nullify, arguing a jurisdiction violation under the FTA when the tribunal classified the NPS as a de facto state agency.

South Korea has grabbed a gold medal in the men's team 25-meter rapid-fire pistol event for the first time in 12 years at the Aichi Nagoya Asian Games.

Another failure is being consumed on the ground.

The conduct of President Park Geun-hye during the first seven hours of the disaster will later become one of the largest political controversies in South Korea.

For the families who assisted the rescue unit, the lack of clear leadership was lived as a betrayal.

Inside the ship, Zhang was not thinking about the president's timetable.

In fact, we talked about Kim Jong-un's visit for the anniversary of the military victory back in last year.

We go back to when Park Geun-hye visited China for this very same event back in, what, 2016 it would have been.

At that time, it was, you know, a hope that there was a conscious effort by Seoul to try to get Beijing to do more on the North Korea issue, which it was unable to do.

And then in the next year, when North Korea conducted a nuclear test, China was nowhere to be found, and Park Geun-hye's efforts, it's all history now.

I think there's the same desire.

Part of it's packaging for the domestic audience, just like every time E.J. Myung claims that the U.S. can help, that resumed U.S.-DPRK talks can help inter-Korea talks.

I think Wang Yi, first of all, is looking like the responsible statesman coming in and trying to build reconciliation in the region to stand in contrast with the United States, the untrusting and untrustworthy adversary to the region and that E.J. Myung, Seoul's interests are best in working with Beijing to counter Washington rather than to team up with us.

And of course, the next target is Tokyo itself and trying to discourage E.J. Myung to whatever degree possible from participating in this trilateral cooperation and that they should not use the North Korea issue as an excuse to engage in and multilateral military exercises talks etc that are detrimental to china's interests so i think trying to rebuild that uh leverage with seoul is is what was the the primary driver you know given the timing of all the other diplomacy going on of wangi going in seoul at that time
