Cuba Establishes Diplomatic Relations with South Korea

Trade between the countries amounted to 21 million U.S. dollars in 2022.

The Cuban Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that Cuba has established diplomatic relations with South Korea through the exchange of official letters in New York.

The letters were exchanged between the missions of the two countries to the United Nations to set up their ambassador-level diplomatic ties, according to the Cuban ministry.

"The establishment of official relations between the two countries was carried out in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and in conformity with the spirit and norms set forth in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of April 18, 1961," the statement said.

For its part, the South Korean Foreign Ministry said that the establishment of diplomatic relations was an important turning point for Seoul to strengthen and expand diplomacy in Latin America.

The Ministry added that it would contribute to expanding substantial cooperation between the two countries.

Some 14,000 South Koreans had visited Cuba annually before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, while trade between the two countries amounted to 21 million dollars in 2022.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning that in May 2016, the chambers of commerce of the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding in the interest of boosting bilateral cooperation, especially the exchange of business-related information.

Cuba approved the Republic of Korea, the official name of South Korea, in 1949, but exchanges between the two countries had been cut off since the Cuban socialist revolution of 1959.

International Community Does Nothing to Stop Israel: Mitaki

On Wednesday, two Israeli airstrikes killed seven people in a building in Nabatieh and another three from the same family in a house in Souaneh.

On Friday, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced the ongoing Israeli aggression against southern Lebanon.

"While Lebanon insists on the need for regional stability and calls on all parties to refrain from escalation, we have found that Israel continues its aggression, leading us to wonder what measures the international community has taken to stop this prolonged aggression," he said during the Munich Security Conference (MSC).

"Just two days ago, a family of seven was attacked in southern Lebanon, including women and children. Killing and attacking innocent women, children, and elderly people is a crime against humanity," Mikati added.

On Wednesday, two Israeli airstrikes killed seven people in a building in Nabatieh and another three from the same family in a house in Souaneh, marking a record number of civilian casualties in a single day since the beginning of hostilities four months ago.

Mikati reiterated Lebanon's commitment to "all" resolutions adopted by the United Nations in recent decades regarding Israel, a neighboring country to which he also urged to respect and implement those resolutions.

For that to happen, he pointed out that the Jewish state must end its attacks on Lebanon, stop violating its sovereignty, and withdraw from "all Lebanese territories occupied" in border areas, where there are 13 disputed points between the two nations.

"A stable, vibrant, and sovereign Lebanon is a basic necessity; not only for the Lebanese people but also for the peace and stability of the region," he said.

Mikati is expected to meet on the sidelines of the conference with a series of international officials as part of efforts to contain the border violence with Israel, including U.S. adviser and mediator Amos Hochstein.

In a World Taking About War, Colombia Talks About Peace: Petro

"We are witnessing a genocide live and we cannot do anything or we are complicit with it," the Colombian president said. At the Security Conference held in Munich, Colombian President Gustavo Petro advocated for social justice as a way out of conflicts in the world.

"In a world that talks about war, Colombia is talking about peace and it's not the first time," assured Petro, who is the only South American leader at this high-level conference on Friday.

He participates on a panel alongside Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo, United Nations Secretary Antonio Guterres, and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

"There is no nation that can be sustained and built by killing itself for 75 years," he said, alluding to the time during which Colombia has been experiencing an internal war.

When explaining the reasons for this long-lasting conflict, Pedro stated that Colombia is one of the world's most unequal countries, a nation in which colonial structures left a persistent legacy in its economy, culture and society.

He proposed building alternatives throughout the planet that would allow for the expansion of social justice as a mechanism to resolve conflicts between countries and within countries.

"We are witnessing a genocide live and we cannot do anything or we are complicit with it," Petro said, referring to Gaza. "What should we do? Barbarism, war, and bombing, or a new democratic pact between the North and the South?" he asked at the Munich forum, in which are also participating Israel President Isaac Herzog, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Making implicit reference to the numerous resolutions in favor of peace in the Middle East approved by the United Nations General Assembly, Petro called for listening to the voices calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

"Humanity has voted at the United Nations for the end of wars. Why don't they listen to us? Why do they have more planes?" the Colombian president asked, adding that "while more planes mean barbarism, more votes represent democracy, civilization, and humanity."

There is supposedly going to be some hearing to declassify information about a "destabilizing foreign military capability".

A U.S. Intelligence Official has reportedly told CNN that the National Security Threat is a “Highly Concerning and Destabilizing” Capability established by the Russian Armed Forces.

Edit: According to new reports, it's space-related and not urgent.

Syrskyi not off to a great start. Rushing in multiple reserve battalions to reinforce the crumbling Avdiivka front and concentrating forces behind the front has lead to sloppy logistics and Russia destroying whole battalions worth of equipment in a single strike.

Zaluzhnyi wouldn’t have made this error I don’t think, he would have retreated if he had his way.
