Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a visit to North Korea on June 8–9, marking his first trip there in nearly seven years and his first overseas travel of 2025. The visit, made at Kim Jong Un's invitation, underscores Beijing's effort to reassert influence over its sole formal treaty ally after pandemic-induced disruptions and North Korea's deepening ties with Russia. The timing follows Xi's recent summits with US President Trump and Russian President Putin, and coincides with Pyongyang's reported expansion of nuclear weapons production capacity.

North Korean leader Kim Jong ‌Un said exercising the country’s position as a nuclear state is the only way to cope with an unpredictable and complicated global security situation, KCNA state news agency reported on Tuesday. “Unimaginable, astonishing incidents and events” are occurring because of the “gangster-like” greed of hegemonic forces, making confrontations around the world more violent, Kim said, blaming the US for worsening bloodshed in Europe and the Middle East. He was speaking at a Central Committee meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party, running from Saturday to Monday, KCNA said.

China’s President Xi Jinping hailed an “invincible friendship” with Pyongyang as he arrived in North Korea on Monday, his first trip abroad this year after hosting back-to-back summits in Beijing. China, Washington’s chief geopolitical rival, has been North Korea’s main trading partner by far for decades and a key source of diplomatic and economic support for the country hit by multiple international sanctions. Military officers lined a red carpet as an Air China plane carrying Xi arrived for his first visit since 2019, video from Xinhua showed.

North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme is “absolutely non-negotiable”, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un said in a statement carried by state media on Sunday, ahead of a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Pyongyang has long insisted on its right to a nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes although they are forbidden under the terms of UN Security Council sanctions. It enshrined its nuclear status in its constitution in 2023.

THEY fail when they exclude people from effectively participating in the political process — that is, when a powerful minority takes over the government and creates a system, including laws, for its own benefit and not for the people at large. The extension of this political exclusion is economic exclusion — in other words, when the powerful and rich minority create extractive economic institutions, whereby they shield and perpetuate their own economic interests by extracting wealth from the national resources and from the people at large. This is the central argument of an influential book Why Nations Fail: the Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty by Turkish-American economist Daron Acemoglu and British-American economist and political scientist James Robinson.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has ruled out expanding military ties with Japan any time soon, insisting that historical grievances must be resolved first. The two countries have come under growing pressure to strengthen defence ties as North Korea, China and Russia draw closer together. But analysts say such a move remains politically risky for Lee’s government given deep-seated public resentment in South Korea towards Japan.
