S. Korea, U.S. agree 'in principle' on Moon-Biden summit in WashingtonNews


Returning from a trip to the United States after the three-way meeting between his U.S. and Japanese counterparts, Seoul's national security adviser Suh Hoon on Monday told reporters that Seoul and Washington have reached an agreement "in principle" to hold a summit between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington.
While Suh stopped short of saying when the summit would take place, he said the two sides agreed to hold the summit as early as possible.
The latest remark from the national security adviser also comes as an informed source here in South Korea said last week, that the two leaders could hold their first face-to-face summit talks as early as this month.

N. Korea decides to not participate in Tokyo Olympics due to COVID-19


fears.
A website run by the North's Sports Ministry said its national Olympic Committee had decided not to participate in the Games to protect its athletes from the Covid-19 pandemic.
This will be the first time North Korea has missed a Summer Olympics since it boycotted Seoul in 1988.
It's a blow to South Korea's hopes of using the Games to engage with the North as the sporting event this summer had been considered one of the last-remaining chances to kickstart the stalled cross border talks before the end of President Moon Jae-in's term next year.
When South Korea hosted the Winter Games in PyeongChang in 2018, the North Korean leader sent his sister, Kim Yo-jong, to head his delegation and athletes from the two Koreas entered a joint team which led to the initiation of diplomacy with South Korea and the U.S., including a series of historic summits.

Health authorities grapple with worrisome fourth nationwide spike of COVID-19


South Korea's disease control and prevention chief forecasts the daily new Covid-19 infections in the country may surpass the current 500 level this week.
"The basic reproduction number of the virus exceeded 1 last week, and stood at 1.0-7. So we're expecting to see daily infections higher than the current 500."
A reproduction number of over one means the disease is expanding in new population groups at an increasing rate while a R-naught of less than one means the spread is declining.
Health authorities also announced on Monday that they have discovered the first domestically transmitted case of the more transmissible South Africa Covid-19 variant in South Korea.
