The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) said Friday it won’t be ready for the time being to question Ambassador to Australia Lee Jong-sup as more preparations are necessary.

The CIO made the remark in a message to reporters a day after Lee returned home and called for the CIO to summon him for questioning as early as possible in connection with an investigation into suspicions that he exercised undue influence over a military probe into a Marine’s death.

“Our stance is that it would be difficult for a while to summon and question Lee,” the CIO said, citing incomplete data analysis on seized evidence and other preliminary questioning of witnesses related to the case.

The investigation office said it plans to inform Lee after determining the date of questioning in consultation with his lawyer and after fully expediting the investigation into the case.

Education Minister Lee Ju-ho on Friday pledged utmost assistance to medical schools to prevent any erosion in the quality of their education following the recent increase of the nationwide medical school quota.

The remark was made during Lee’s first online meeting with the presidents of the country’s 40 universities running medical schools since the government’s allocation of 2,000 additional admission seats to medical schools nationwide earlier this week.

“In order to prevent any decline in the condition of medical education, the government will not spare its support to help medical students be fully prepared in the first three years,” Lee said.

“The expansion of the medical school quota is the key task in the government’s medical reform to prop up the country’s health care services in essential medical disciplines and rural areas,” he said.

The minister also urged medical students and professors against collective action as nearly half of all medical students have filed for leaves of absence in protest
against the quota hike.

Medical professors at many universities across the nation have also resolved to submit resignations en masse starting Monday.

“It would be very regrettable if professors, who should take the lead in protecting the lives and health of the public, leave their positions beside patients,” Lee said.

Bangkok: 22 Mar. – MEA predicts that in 2024 the demand for electricity will peak at 9,934.25 megawatts from the end of April to the beginning of May. The trend for all electricity distribution units to increase by 0.1% is ready to cope with technology and control center systems. The first SCADA electrical system in Thailand recommends “turn off – adjust – disconnect – replace” to save electricity during the summer.

Which includes Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan. that the summer will be the period with the highest electricity use in the year. For 2024, from a total of 4,266,995 electricity consumers, MEA predicts that the peak value in the MEA distribution system will be 9,934 megawatts, or an increase of 1.2% from the year. The past 2023 will occur between the end of April and the beginning of May. This is because it is a
period of high electricity use. together with the extremely hot weather Meanwhile, MEA’s total electricity distribution units in 2024 are expected to be 53,994 million units, or an increase of 0.1% from last year. Due to the continued recovery of the tourism sector Private sector spending and investment The continued expansion of the number of electric cars and the opening of additional color train lines, such as the Pink Line extension. However, there are still factors that can reduce electricity use.

President Yoon Suk Yeol warned Friday that North Korea will pay a “larger price” in the event it carries out a “reckless” provocation as tension ran high over the regime’s continued weapons tests.

Yoon issued the warning as the nation marked West Sea Defense Day, which commemorates the 55 service members who died in action while defending the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border between South and North Korea, between 2002 and 2010.

“Our military will maintain an ironclad readiness posture and firmly defend the Republic of Korea’s freedom and the people’s safety by responding immediately and overwhelmingly to any provocation,” Yoon said during a memorial ceremony at the Navy’s 2nd Fleet Command in Pyeongtaek, 60 kilometers south of Seoul.

“Should North Korea carry out a reckless provocation, it will pay a larger price for sure.”

North Korea this week fired short-range ballistic missiles in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and conducted a ground jet test of what it said was a sol
id-fuel engine for a new type of intermediate hypersonic missile.

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula run high after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a call in January to revise the country’s constitution to define South Korea as a “primary foe and invariable principal enemy” and codify its commitment to “completely occupying” the South in the event of war.

“If North Korea thinks it can bring us to our knees with its provocations and threats, this would be a perfect misjudgment,” Yoon said. “Our government and military will never take even a single step backward in the face of any provocation or threat by North Korea.”

Yoon vowed to strengthen security cooperation with ally the United States, as well as trilaterally with the U.S. and Japan.

He also renewed his promise to support the nation’s veterans and families of fallen service members until the end while making sure they receive the treatment they deserve.

West Sea Defense Day commemorates the 2002 inter-Korean naval skirmish off the border island
of Yeonpyeong, the 2010 sinking of the corvette Cheonan blamed on a North Korean torpedo attack, and the North’s shelling of Yeonpyeong in 2010.

Yoon called the incidents “brutal provocations that cannot be pardoned under any pretext.”
