South Korea hopes new speed train links will help boost birthrate
Quick Glance: South Korea's High-Speed Train Project Aims to Boost Birthrate
  • South Korea is launching a high-speed train service to reduce travel time between central Seoul and its outskirts.

  • Officials are pinning their hopes on the Great Train eXpress (GTX) project to encourage more youth to live outside the city and start families.

  • The GTX will be one of the fastest underground systems globally, with trains reaching speeds of up to 180 km/h.

  • However, experts warn that the GTX could lead to further decline in rural areas as more people are drawn into the already overcrowded capital.

Quick Glance: Japanese PM Offers to Meet Kim Jong Un, Conditions Pose Challenges
  • North Korea states that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida proposed a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 'as soon as possible,' contingent on Tokyo's stance towards North Korea's weapons program and past abductions of Japanese nationals.

  • Kishida emphasizes the importance of a meeting with Kim to address the abduction issue, but North Korea's preconditions make a Kim-Kishida summit unlikely.

  • Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, highlights the need for Japan to make political decisions aligned with its overall interests to enhance bilateral relations and regional peace.

  • Experts suggest that a potential meeting could benefit both North Korea and Japan, with North Korea aiming to strengthen its position and Japan considering potential economic assistance if ties normalize.
