North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has celebrated a “new era of a space power” following the country’s launch of its first-ever military spy satellite earlier this week. The launch was an “eye-opening event” that would help protect North Korea from the “dangerous and aggressive moves of hostile forces” and heralded “a new era of a space power,” he added. On Friday, Seoul’s foreign ministry announced that the foreign ministers of South Korea, Japan and China would hold their first trilateral talks since 2019. At the summit, the foreign ministers “plan to exchange opinions extensively on the direction of development of trilateral cooperation, regional and international situations,” Seoul’s foreign ministry said in a statement. Kim showed “such paternal love for the space scientists,” it added.
