Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka urged world leaders at the G20 summit not to normalize preventable human suffering. He referenced conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and the Sahel, while promoting QRIS as a financial inclusion solution. Gibran also emphasized each country's right to chart its own development path.
South Korea's unification ministry stated it is seeking to repatriate elderly 'unconverted long-term' North Korean prisoners of war but is not considering linking the issue to efforts to release six South Korean detainees in the North. The clarification refutes a report by NK News, emphasizing humanitarian repatriation separately. North Korea has not confirmed the detainees' whereabouts.
