In this next segment of our newscast we share with you the thoughts of one scholar with regard to the latest diplomatic developments here in South Korea.
I have Professor Hans Schattle of Political Science at Yonsei University here in the studio.
Professor Schattle it's a pleasure.
1) Professor Schattle, before we delve into this year's APEC event that ended earlier on this Saturday in the historic city of Gyeongju, I'd like to first direct your attention to the summit between President Lee Jae Myung and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping that took place right after.
First then, what do you believe is the significance of this particular summit?
2) Professor Schattle, what are some of your takeaways from that summit, and what do you envision going forward with regard to ties between Seoul and Beijing?
3) Professor Schattle, staying with Seoul's bilateral interactions, President Lee Jae Myung also sat down with his Japanese counterpart Sanae Takaichi.
Do you suppose the Trump administration's America First policy is serving to set the stage for closer regional ties among South Korea, Japan and China?
And if so, in what areas might this trilateral partnership prove to be productive?
4) Professor Schattle, let's now turn to the APEC event that largely revolved around the Leaders' Meeting and the CEO Summit.
With regard to the APEC Leaders' Meeting, a joint declaration was signed in the absence of U.S. President Donald Trump.
That being said, which APEC member states do you believe are looking to fill the leadership vacuum left by the U.S. on the global stage?
5) Professor Schattle, simply speaking, what are three of your takeaways from this year's APEC event?
6) Professor Schattle, out of a score of 10, how would you grade South Korea's hosting of this annual gathering?
7) Professor Schattle, next year's APEC Leaders' Meeting will be hosted by China.
What should we be keeping our eyes on as we wait for that event?
All right.

Exports continued to expand in October DRIVEN by chips and ships despite the fewer number of working days in light of quite a number of national holidays.
Byeon Ye-young has the latest.
According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on Saturday, exports rose 3-point-6 percent year-on-year to 59-point-57 billion U.S. dollars, the highest figure ever recorded for the month of October.
When adjusted for the shorter work period, average daily exports came to 2-point-98 billion dollars, also an all-time high.
The growth was largely driven by strong shipments of semiconductors, ships, petroleum products, and computers.
Semiconductor exports jumped 25-point-4 percent to 15-point-73 billion dollars, a record for October, thanks to sustained demand for high-bandwidth memory and next-generation DDR5 chips used in AI servers.
Ship exports, including offshore plants, more than doubled to 4-point-69 billion dollars, extending their growth streak to eight consecutive months.
By contrast, exports of automobiles, steel, and machinery fell sharply due to U.S. tariff measures, with shipments to the U.S. down 16-point-2 percent to 8-point-71 billion dollars, the steepest decline among Korea’s nine major trading partners.
Exports to China and ASEAN also slipped 5 percent and 6-point-5 percent, respectively, while shipments to Taiwan surged 46 percent on strong chip sales.
Imports dropped 1-point-5 percent to 53-point-52 billion dollars, resulting in a trade surplus of 6-point-06 billion dollars, the largest October surplus in years.
From January through October, South Korea’s cumulative trade surplus reached 56-point-43 billion dollars, already surpassing 2024's full-year total.

We start over in the city of Gyeongju where a much anticipated summit took place between the presidents of South Korea and China earlier on this Saturday.
I have my colleague Yoon Jung-min standing by at the Media Center with the latest.
Jung-min welcome.
DO fill us in.
Sunny. The first one-on-one between Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Xi Jinping began with a handshake.
Upon arrival, the Chinese leader signed the guestbook and received a traditional welcoming ceremony.
The leaders also inspected an honor guard.
During their talks, a message of bilateral cooperation was prominent.
"I look forward to APEC being served as a platform for cooperation to develop the Korea-China strategic partnership in a more mature manner, taking the opportunity of your state visit."
"China and South Korea are important, close neighbors and inseparable partners for cooperation."
Xi is on a state visit to South Korea for the first time in 11 years.
President Lee gave his guest a premier-class go board, the game known as Xi's favorite, and a Korean lacquerware tray, hoping for a long-lasting friendship between the two countries.
A friendly session to get to know each other and a state dinner were also scheduled.
And what more can you share about the content of their conversation?
North Korea is high on the agenda, with President Lee saying recent exchanges between Pyongyang and Beijing form conditions for engagement with North Korea.
Take a listen.
"Taking such an opportunity, I hope to strengthen strategic communication between South Korea and China to resume dialogue with North Korea."
"We are willing to inject more positive energy for peace and development in the region by strengthening communication with South Korea, deepening our cooperation, and expanding common interests."
This morning, North Korea protested the agenda of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula set to be discussed between Seoul and Beijing, calling such an effort a "silly dream."
Another area of focus is on the potential lifting of China's restrictions on Korean cultural content that began in 2017, following Korea allowing the deployment of a U.S. THAAD missile defense system.
The leaders exchanged six MOUs today, including a won-yuan currency swap renewal and the joint tackling of online scam crimes.
The week full of diplomacy in Gyeongju is almost over, where the South Korean leader held separate meetings with his counterparts from the U.S., Japan and China in just that week.
Back to you, Sunny.
Right Jung-min a busy diplomatic week for the president.
Thank you for that coverage from Gyeongju .

Up next we touch upon the public response to the latest APEC forum here in South Korea.
And for this I have Professor Christophe Gaudin of Political Science at Kookmin University here in the studio.
Professor Gaudin it's a pleasure.
1) Professor Gaudin, this year's APEC Leaders' Meeting ended with the adoption of the Gyeongju Declaration.
If I were to ask you to share with us the gist of that declaration in one sentence, what would you say, and how relevant is it keeping in mind the current state of affairs?
2) Professor Gaudin, what are TWO of your takeaways from this year's APEC LEADERS' Meeting?
3) Out of a score of 10, how would you grade South Korea's hosting of this annual gathering?
4) Professor Gaudin, beyond the main multilateral meeting, there were a number of bilateral engagements that gathered quite a bit of global attention.
Now, with regard to the summit between Beijing and Washington, Mr. Trump gave it a 12 out of 10.
What are your thoughts?
5) Professor Gaudin, another highlight of the annual APEC event is the APEC CEO Summit.
What do you believe were some of the highlights of this year's CEO gathering?
6) Professor Gaudin, how should South Korea seek to leverage its hosting of this multilateral meeting and the various sidelines summits this year to adopt a more leading role in global affairs?
7) Professor Gaudin, next year's APEC Leaders' Meeting will be hosted by China.
What should we be keeping our eyes on as we wait for that event?
All right.

Meanwhile addressing members of the local and foreign media after the conclusion of this year's APEC gathering President Lee Jae Myung touched upon efforts to engage North Korea to ensure peace on the peninsula.
Kim Bo-kyoung covers his remarks.
It takes considerable effort to change North Korea’s suspicions and confrontational mindset, said President Lee Jae Myung during a press conference at the Gyeongju Media Center on Saturday.
Wrapping up the APEC Leaders' Meeting, President Lee talked to reporters, elaborating on how the leaders came up with three documents — the Leaders’ Gyeongju Declaration, the AI Initiative, and the Joint Framework for Responding to Demographic Changes.
When asked about how South Korea would play a role as a pace maker to bring about peace on the peninsula, he said the most solid security is to create peace without having to fight.
"We are taking proactive measures for peace — within the scope of what we can do — to reassure the North and to make it possible for them to trust the South even a little."
While saying the intensity of the expressions Pyongyang is using has greatly eased compared to the past, he further emphasized that Washington's role is all the more important as there are clear limits to resolving issues through inter-Korean dialogue alone.
When asked about how he thought of the meeting with new Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, he said his concerns were able to disappear.
“To be honest about how I felt, I got a very good impression. All my concerns have disappeared. I believe that from now on, through good cooperation, Korea–Japan relations can move to a much better stage than they are now.”
Being his turn to visit Japan next in terms of keeping the spirit of shuttle diplomacy, President Lee said he asked her to see each other in Nara Prefecture, where the Japanese prime minister was born.
In terms of ties with China, he said it is difficult to say the Seoul-Beijing relationship has been fully normalized or restored, though it may outwardly appear to be free of problems.
“We need to go beyond mere restoration and find a path of cooperation that is mutually beneficial.”
The most important area of cooperation would be the economic sector, he added, and also showed his expectation for China to play a major role in bringing about peace and stability on the peninsula, that would lead to that of Northeast Asia, which is in China's own interest as well.

Staying in Gyeongju.
Another key diplomatic event taking place in that city is the South Korea-China summit.
And for details on that meeting I have my colleague Yoon Jung-min standing by at the International Media Center.
So Jung-min what's the latest at your end?
Sunny. Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived at the summit venue about an hour ago for the first one-on-one with President Lee Jae Myung.
The Chinese leader received a traditional welcoming ceremony, which was followed by bilateral talks.
Xi is on a state visit to South Korea for the first time in 11 years.
Eyes are on whether this could be a turning point in the South Korea-China relations, which have been strained in recent years.
In a press conference earlier, President Lee urged the need to "restore" the relationship with China.
"In reality, it is hard to say that the relationship has been completely normalized or restored. We need substantial restoration of the relationship and substantial strengthening of cooperation."
2. What looks to top their talks Jung-min?
We expect the leaders to discuss how to cooperate to improve the livelihoods of people in both countries.
Also, they will address denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, according to presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung yesterday.
North Korea protested this morning, calling such an effort a "silly dream."
Another area of focus is on the potential lifting of China's restrictions on Korean cultural content that began in 2017, following Korea's deployment of a U.S. THAAD missile defense system.
Also expected is cooperation on rare earths the elements on which the U.S. and China recently agreed to pause export restrictions.
The week full of diplomacy in Gyeongju is almost over, where the South Korean leader held separate meetings with his counterparts from the U.S., Japan and China in just a week.
Back to you, Sunny.
All right Jung-min thank you for that coverage.

Korea: Denuclearization of Korean Peninsula is a "pipe dream"Arirang Newshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzznO4xSV8BKnUBPyswtCUw2025-11-01T10:20:36+00:002025-11-02T07:06:55+00:00N. Korea: Denuclearization of Korean Peninsula is a "pipe dream"북 "비핵화는 실현불가능 개꿈"‥한중정상회담 의제협의에 반발
AND against the backdrop of such hopes by the president here North Korea for its part has reaffirmed its commitment to its nuclear weapons program.
Ahn Sung-jin covers its latest comments and their implications.
North Korea has condemned the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula as a “pipe dream.”
The statement was released Friday, as South Korea and China worked on the agenda for their summit on the sidelines of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju, on Saturday.
According to the North’s state media, the Korean Central News Agency,
North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myong-ho said on Friday that no matter how many times denuclearization is raised, the North will remain patient, insisting it is a “pipe dream that can never be realized.”
He went on to say that denying the DPRK’s status as a nuclear weapons state, and clinging to what he called the “daydream” of denuclearization, shows what he described as a lack of common sense on the part of the ROK.
An expert says North Korea’s statement, released ahead of the Lee–Xi talks, is not only a backlash against South Korea’s presidential office, but also a move to pressure Beijing.
"This is essentially a message to pressure China not to keep bringing up North Korea’s denuclearization. We can read it that way because Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myong-ho is in charge of relations with China. So even though the statement criticizes South Korea, the real target is Beijing, the message is, ‘stay quiet on denuclearization.’"
Discussions on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, along with efforts to secure peace, were on the agenda, with the South Korean side framing both issues as directly tied to people’s livelihoods.

The APEC Leaders' Meeting came to a close earlier on this Saturday in the historic city of Gyeongju with a declaration designed to drive forward the forum's commitment to collaboration.
Our Presidential Office Correspondent Song Yoo-jin reports.
Twenty years after the 2005 Busan Roadmap, which promoted free trade, this year’s APEC Leaders’ Meeting, chaired by President Lee Jae Myung, wrapped up in Gyeongju with the adoption of the APEC Leaders’ Gyeongju Declaration.
"The declaration lays out APEC's long-term vision for an open, dynamic, and peaceful Asia-Pacific community, and reaffirms the member economies' commitment to cooperation for recovery and growth."
One of the biggest questions going into the Leaders’ Meeting was whether a joint declaration could be adopted, because it requires unanimous approval from all 21 APEC member economies.
There was particular attention on whether the declaration would address trade, given rising protectionism and U.S.–China tensions.
In the end, the Gyeongju Declaration says APEC will keep pushing regional economic integration, including continuing work on the proposed Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific.
"We shared the understanding that expanding mutual trade is essential for sustained prosperity and growth of the Asia-Pacific region.
And for the first time in APEC Leaders’ Meeting history, the Gyeongju Declaration explicitly recognizes “cultural and creative industries” as a driver of growth and as a way to build mutual understanding across the region.
Also adopted were two separate outcome documents: the “APEC Artificial Intelligence Initiative” and the “APEC Collaborative Framework for Demographic Changes.”
These mark the forum’s first written agreements on cooperating in artificial intelligence, and on responding to the region’s aging and shrinking populations.
"We agreed that AI and demographic change are challenges all APEC members share.
Because no single economy can address them alone, we must share best practices and find joint solutions."
The AI Initiative calls for stronger collaboration among governments, industry, and academia, and for expanded investment in AI infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the framework on demographic changes lays out measures, from expanding lifelong education and employment opportunities, to improving access to quality healthcare through advanced technology.
"With the two-day APEC Leaders' Meeting now over, what remains to be seen is how the member economies will work together toward a better future for peace and prosperity across the Asia-Pacific.
Song Yoo-jin, Arirang News, Gyeongju."
