Tale of three pipelines

Who would imagine that pipeline politics would be a defining feature of the new U.S. administration? Pipelines after all are the ultimate infrastructure project; unseen, unsung, underground but exceedingly critical to moving fuel, gas or water.

Art of South Korea-US summit

Some argue that the biggest achievement of the recently concluded Moon-Biden summit was Washington's recognition of the spirit of the Singapore summit. Others point out that the U.S. relaxation of South Korea's missile range limit was the most tangible outcome. Yet another group sees the “restoration” of the South Korea-U.S. alliance as the most meaningful accomplishment.

Long way to become climate leader

In 2016, Climate Home, a climate change online news outlet, named South Korea a world “climate villain” together with Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. The report was based on the analysis from Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent scientific research organization.

ROK-US cooperation needed to promote N. Korea human rights
