File photoSeoul's military said Tuesday it had fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the border this week, with tensions high over Pyongyang's trash-carrying balloons and Seoul's loudspeaker propaganda campaigns. "After our military issued warning broadcasts and warning shots, they retreated northward," it said, adding the incident happened June 9. "Apart from the immediate retreat of the North Korean soldiers following our warning shots, there were no unusual movements observed", the JCS said, adding the military was closely monitoring troops near the border. South Korea's military said Monday it had detected signs the North was installing its own loudspeakers. The 2018 pact was a hallmark achievement of former president Moon Jae-in, who met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un repeatedly in a bid to improve ties.

MOSCOW: Russian grain exporters see potential to increase supplies of pulses and cereals to India and China while continuing to focus on their traditional markets in the Middle East and North Africa, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.Turkey 's decision to halt wheat imports will not affect the level of Russian exports, it said in a statement following talks between Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut and grain exporters. "In the current environment, domestic exporters will focus on the key markets of the Middle East and North Africa, as well as on developing relations with India and China, where there is progress in the supply of pulses and broad prospects for grain crops. For us, by and large, given that the harvest will be significantly lower than the last two years, it will not have any negative impact. Egypt ranked first, Bangladesh third, with Pakistan and Algeria also in the top five importers. Grain supplies to Turkey fell by 23% on last season, reaching 6.5 million tons at the end of May.

Europe’s Africa policy was greatly affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially as energy and food supply became weaponised as a Russian tool of aggression. In response, stronger bilateral, regional, and multilateral cooperation is needed between African organisations and countries and Western actors. Both parties should continue to accelerate existing objectives, like the 2030 Agenda, debt, sustainable development, health security, energy independence, political instability, and democracy and human rights. All these priorities, if well implemented through the G7 mandate, could also help Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni to finally succeed in tackling migration through a multilateral approach rather than a purely domestic one. In this episode, Elisabeth Sidiropoulos, chief executive of the South African Institute for International Affairs, and Maddalena Procopio, senior policy fellow at ECFR’s Africa programme, discuss how Meloni could advance her policy ideas on Africa through the G7 presidency.

GENEVA: The United Nations’ refugees chief on Monday denounced the politicisation of migration in European elections. Filippo Grandi told reporters that his ‘main’ concern after the weekend’s European Parliament elections, was that “the refugee-migration theme has become so politicised in these elections”. The European elections handed significant gains to ‘far-right parties’, across much of the continent. This, he said, was “partly because some politicians have manipulated it, have portrayed it as a threat, as a risk”. A ‘heftier’ representation of the ‘far-right’ is expected to make itself felt, on the EU’s migration and asylum agenda.

MOSCOW, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Russia's Ministry of Agriculture said Tuesday that the country's grain exporters will shift their focus to key markets in the Middle East and North Africa, and strengthen relationships with India and China. During a meeting led by Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut with grain exporters, it was unanimously agreed that Turkey's import refusal would not affect Russia's export capabilities, the ministry said. The consensus was that for the upcoming season, starting on July 1, Russia plans to reduce its grain supply to the global market to 60 million tons. The ministry also said that considering last year's high yield, Russia aims to deliver up to 70 million tons of grains to the global markets, including 53 million tons of wheat, in the ongoing season, which concludes on June 30. The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture is suspending wheat imports from June 21 to Oct. 15 to support local producers as grain prices are expected to fall.
