Kim Jong Un names daughter as heir

South Korea’s intelligence agency has informed lawmakers that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has selected his daughter, Kim Ju Ae, as his successor. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said its assessment is based on multiple indicators, including her increasingly visible role at major state events. In recent months, Kim Ju Ae has appeared alongside her father at high-profile occasions, including military ceremonies and official visits abroad. Notably, she accompanied him to Beijing in September for her first known overseas trip. According to lawmaker Lee Seong-kwen, the NIS believes Kim Ju Ae has moved from being informally groomed to entering the stage of formal successor designation. Her repeated presence at key national events — such as the anniversary of the Korean People’s Army and visits to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun — as well as signs that she has […]

Xi and Putin praise closer China Russia ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have praised the strength of relations between their countries during a video call held as the war in Ukraine nears its fourth anniversary.​ In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Putin said the partnership between Moscow and Beijing is an important stabilising force at a time of growing global tensions. Xi, speaking through an interpreter, called for both countries to draw up a grand plan to further deepen ties, saying relations were moving in a positive direction.​ Days before Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, China and Russia declared a strategic partnership with “no limits.” Since then, China has become a key economic lifeline for Russia, increasing trade as Western nations imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow.​ Xi and Putin last met in person in Beijing […]

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un rejigs private security detail

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has replaced three senior officials in charge of his personal security, according to South Korea’s intelligence services. Analysts see the reshuffle as a sign he is tightening control over those closest to him amid concerns about loyalty and assassination threats.​ The officials served in elite units tasked with guarding Kim’s residence, convoy and public appearances. They have reportedly been reassigned and replaced by officers with long service records in the Guard Department and State Affairs Commission, which oversee the leader’s protection.​ Kim has already increased the visibility of bodyguards at his events, often appearing surrounded by closely packed security teams that move in formation around him. Recent state media footage also shows new faces in his inner protective ring, suggesting a broader shake up of the personal security structure.​​ Experts say the changes follow […]

North Korea tests hypersonic missiles, warns nuclear forces are war ready

North Korea says it has successfully test fired new hypersonic missiles under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un to prepare its nuclear forces for a possible war. State media said the launches were part of drills to place the country’s nuclear arsenal on a more practical, combat ready footing amid what Pyongyang called a worsening geopolitical crisis.​ According to reports, the missiles flew around 1,000 kilometres over waters east of North Korea, in what Seoul and Tokyo described as the country’s first ballistic missile test of the year. Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound and can manoeuvre in flight, making them harder for existing air and missile defences to track or intercept.​ Kim said recent international events, including the U.S. military operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, proved the need for a […]

Kim orders more missile production in North Korea in 2026

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered officials to boost missile production and build more factories to meet the growing demands of his country’s military in 2026. State media said he gave the directive during visits to munitions factories alongside top officials.​ Kim told factory managers to prepare for a busy year and to expand overall production capacity so the missile and artillery forces can meet future operational needs. He also ordered the construction of new munitions plants to support the planned increase in output.​ According to the Korean Central News Agency, Kim described the missile and shell production sector as being of paramount importance to strengthening North Korea’s war deterrent. Analysts say Pyongyang has sharply increased missile testing in recent years to improve precision strike capabilities and to challenge the United States and South Korea.​ Experts also believe […]

South Korea eyes nuclear submarine launch by late 2030s after US approval

South Korea could launch its first nuclear-powered submarine by the late 2030s, a senior defence ministry official said Tuesday, days after the United States approved Seoul’s plan to move forward with development. The announcement follows remarks by US President Donald Trump, who said he had given Washington’s ally a “green light” for the project after the two countries reached a broad deal covering investment and shipbuilding. Trump, speaking during a regional summit in Seoul, wrote on Truth Social that South Korea would manufacture its submarine “in the Philadelphia Shipyards, right here in the good ol’ U.S.A.” U.S. nuclear submarine technology is among the most tightly guarded military secrets, making Washington’s approval a significant milestone for Seoul. Unlike diesel-powered submarines, which must surface periodically to recharge batteries, nuclear-powered vessels can remain submerged for extended periods, offering major strategic advantages. Seoul has […]

Trump Says He Was Too Busy to Meet Kim Jong Un

US President Donald Trump has stated that he did not meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his recent trip to South Korea because his schedule was too full. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump referenced his past relationship with Kim, saying, "I had a great relationship with Kim Jong Un." He did not provide a specific reason for the lack of a meeting beyond being "busy." However, the President left the door open for a future encounter, suggesting he could "come back" for a meeting at another time. The remark indicates a potential willingness to re-engage with the North Korean leader after a period of stalled diplomatic efforts.

Xi Jinping Stages Power Play With Putin and Kim at Beijing Parade

As cannon fire rang out over Tiananmen Square, the defining moment of the day wasn’t the soldiers marching or the weaponry on display. It was the sight of China’s President Xi Jinping greeting North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with a prolonged handshake, followed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, before seating himself between the two heavily sanctioned leaders. The spectacle, carefully staged, was more about politics than pageantry. US President Donald Trump appeared rattled, posting on Truth Social to accuse Xi, Kim and Putin of conspiring against America just as the parade began. Analysts suggest this may have been exactly the provocation Xi intended. By placing Putin on his right and Kim on his left, Xi projected an image of an eastern-led alliance challenging the US-dominated world order. The symbolism went beyond military strength. It underscored China’s growing influence and Xi’s ambition […]
