New spymaster's appointment

President Moon Jae-in gives a flower bouquet to a grandchild of Park Jie-won, left, the new director of the National Intelligence Service, at Cheong Wa Dae, Wednesday, after giving Park a letter of appointment. Second from left is Park's daughter. The main opposition United Future Party claimed that Park, who led the first inter-Korean summit in 2000 between President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, signed an under-the-table agreement with North Korea to provide cash to the reclusive regime, but the presidential office said no such document exists in the government's records. / Yonhap
