  1. In addition to its new fervor in launching missiles, 🇰🇵 seems to be expanding its production of enriched uranium at the Yongbyon facility again.

  2. The 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧 sub deal has immediate political effects, involves tons of money, but will not be operationally relevant in the region until the early 2040’s. A long way to go.

    Last flight this night from Seoul’s impressive Incheon airport. I’m leaving 🇰🇷 after inspiring days here and heading back to Europe again.

    The EU’s new Indo-Pacific strategy proposes new trade links, political cooperation, and green and digital projects. The successful trade agreement with South Korea shows what can be achieved. Europe

    In 🇫🇷 the 🇺🇸🇦🇺 sub deal is emotionally described as a second Trafalgar. But an important and different question is of course whether the 🇬🇧 part of any future arrangement will weaken its contribution to Atlantic and European defence.

    Distinctly bad mood in 🇫🇷 over 🇦🇺 submarine U-turn towards 🇺🇸. “The regrettable decision just announced on the FSP only heightens the need to raise loud and clear the issue of European strategic autonomy.”

    Ten years of the 🇰🇷🇪🇺 free trade agreement has since trade doubling, and 🇪🇺 is now the largest foreign investor in the 🇰🇷 economy. Free trade agreements work!

    It goes on! Yesterday 🇰🇵 also tested a train-mounted ballistic missile. It’s a mutual show-off when it comes to missiles on the Korean Peninsula these days. It’s hardly conducive to stability.

    To acquire nuclear-powered submarines might well make sense for 🇦🇺 given its location, but 🇫🇷 will go ballistic over lost contract for its conventional subs, and costs and timing of new nuclear subs might well cause new drama in the years ahead.

    Agree with in : “If 🇪🇺 is to become a more active global player, it needs to focus on the next generation of partnerships. Todays new EU - Indo-Pacific strategy is a milestone. It reflects the growing importance of the region to our prosperity and security.”

    A day of missile tests on the Korean Peninsula today. First 🇰🇵 fired two ballistic missiles and then 🇰🇷 demonstrated a first in firing a ballistic missiles from a submerged submarine. Things are obviously heating up.

    I continue to believe that 🇪🇺 needs a new competitiveness agenda if it should avoid lagging further behind. The capital markets union, a deep and complete single market, digital intgration, living up to old pledges on R&D funding and an aggressive trade strategy is needed.

    Many good ideas in , but somewhat complacent on the global competitiveness of 🇪🇺 economy. Latest IMF figures see growth in the Eurozone behind both 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳 this year and next. But I was certainly relieved that the words strategic autonomy didn’t figure in the speech.

    At the same time as 🇨🇳 FM is here in Seoul 🇰🇷 for talks, 🇰🇵 fires two ballistic missiles. It’s hard to see that as a coincidence. The 🇰🇵 question might be heating up again.

    It was 18 months since I was in Seoul last time, and for the first time encountered serious pandemic precautions. Today, the pandemic is still with us, and very rigorous precautions are there on entering the country.

    Constant work at to track the different variants of Covid-19. We certainly haven’t seen the end of the story
