Appointed by South Korean President Lee, the move is seen as part of Seoul's broader diplomatic outreach effort to strengthen ties with key global partners.
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol returned to jail as prosecutors secured a new detention warrant after Yoon was released 4 months ago on technical grounds.
'Detention request is related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of justice,' the statement from the special counsel of prosecutors investigating the martial law coup said.
South Koreans hope to put 6 months of turmoil from ousted leader Yoon Suk Yeol’s martial law decree behind them and for a reversal in the ebbing fortunes of Asia’s fourth-largest economy.
After months of controversy around the short-lived martial law imposed by Yoon and now his ouster, fresh presidential elections are required to be held in the country within 60 days.
A South Korean court had issued an arrest warrant for Yoon on 31 December in a criminal probe accusing the suspended leader of insurrection over his martial law decree last year.
Yoon was impeached by the country's parliament last month, and became the first president to be arrested for imposing martial law that lasted six hours.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
