The top diplomats of South Korea and Japan held talks Saturday to discuss ways to strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation on global issues.

In the meeting with his Japanese counterpart, Yoshimasa Hayashi, at a hotel in Hiroshima, South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin assessed that bilateral ties have normalized following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s visit to Japan in March and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s South Korean trip earlier this month.

The two sides met on the sidelines of a Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima, as South Korea was invited to attend the gathering as a guest.

Park further expressed hopes to continue efforts to improve bilateral relations, and cooperate on regional and global issues through consultations with Hayashi and a summit scheduled between Yoon and Kishida on Sunday.

Hayashi said he was pleased with the swift resumption of so-called shuttle diplomacy between the countries made possible through the resolute decisions by leaders of South Korea and Japan. He also expressed his wish to cooperate to further solidify ties between the two countries.

Seoul’s foreign ministry said in a press release that the two sides shared the view on the need to strengthen bilateral cooperation and three-way cooperation involving the United States on various regional and global issues, such as the growing North Korean nuclear threat, Ukraine and the global supply chain crisis.

The ministry said Park and Hayashi agreed to continue close communication to expand the momentum of improving bilateral relations in various areas, such as diplomacy, security, economy, culture and people-to-people exchanges.

They also decided to promptly implement follow-up measures on summit meetings between South Korea and Japan, the ministry added.

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Grand Imam of the Istiqlal Mosque Nasaruddin Umar said the massive instrumentalization of identity politics witnessed in the 2019 General Elections (Pemilu) would subside in the upcoming 2024 Parliamentary and.Presidential Elections.”God willing, I believe that the use of it (identity politics) will subside,” Umar told journalists at the General Elections Commission (KPU) office in Jakarta, Friday, after chairing a hearing session of several leaders of high religious assemblies to the KPU. ccording to the grand imam, the use of identity politics, especially in terms of religious affinity, would experience a decline in the 2024 elections, as the public today has gained a deeper maturity about religion and politics. “The Indonesian public’s maturity in religious and political affairs is getting better. We can now see people from different political parties having dinner together, even covering each other’s bill,” he stated. Earlier, after chairing the hearing session, the imam stated that the KPU, along with several religious figures from religious high assemblies, agreed to work in collaboration to ensure that the 2024 elections did not disrupt harmony and interfaith concord in the homeland. “This is a new tradition that we will exercise under the cooperation between religious high assemblies and KPU. I believe these are unprecedented efforts wherein we strive to find a way, so that people do not drag their religious emotion too far just to fight for a short-term interest,” he pointed out. He affirmed that this cooperation aims to ensure that the festival of democracy did not instead become an obstacle to the efforts to foster interfaith harmony in the nation. To follow up on the cooperation agreement, Umar remarked that religious leaders would proceed to give directives to members of religious assemblies at the regional level to encourage the society to refrain from bringing in their religious emotions into the 2024 elections. “It is necessary to ensure that people do not use their religious emotion out of place only for the sake of a momentarily interest,” he stressed. Moreover, he said, religious leaders will provide support to the KPU in the efforts to prompting contesting candidates of the elections to not use worship places as their stage to carry out their campaign. The imam also invited all related parties to participate in the festival of democracy without committing anything that may interfere with the interfaith brotherhood in Indonesia.

andgtlobal credit intelligence provider, Pepper Advantage, has acquired Rieom.ai, a specialist AI/ML-driven credit assessment software platform for the Asian marketsRieom.ai’s first mover advantage in a high potential Indian credit technology market, opens up opportunities to service a sizeable market in the countryThe acquisition supports plans to launch an AI-driven credit management model across Southeast Asia and the Middle EastLondon and Mumbai (ATARA/BusinessWire)- Pepper Advantage, a global credit intelligence company, has acquired Rieom.ai, a specialist AI-driven credit management software platform based in Pune, India. Rieom.ai’s flagship product is an AI/ML-driven predictive pre-payout credit approval tool that uses socio-demographic and profile-based analysis to assess loan application documents to identify fraud risks and other suspicious behaviour prior to credit approval. The tool is a continuously learning platform that can support the credit risk assessment of over 60 different document types, from ID verification to bank statements and utility bills. Algorithm driven, it can be integrated directly into the loan originator’s credit management systems via API, providing a scalable, holistic, contextual and relationship-driven platform to evaluate loan application and portfolio risk analysis. The product also includes automated transaction monitoring and is vastly superior to the manual and individualised internal processes that commonly slow credit applications across India’s financial services sector. Benefitting from modern technological architecture and a first-mover advantage, Rieom.ai has screened close to 700,000 applications and has processed over 2.3m documents. The company expects to continue its rapid growth as it currently has the capability to service a near limitless volume and range of document types. As a result, Pepper Advantage intends to expand its applicable market in India to include fintechs, microfinance companies, small finance businesses, co-operative banks, insurance and government institutions. Pepper Advantage’s acquisition of Rieom.ai marks an aggressive expansion into the Indian market and is indicative of the AI-driven credit management model it plans to bring to additional markets such as Indonesia, Vietnam and the Middle East in the near term. The acquisition of Rieom.ai also brings significant product development opportunities as its technology is integrated into Pepper Advantage’s credit technology platform, which offers propriety data and analytics capabilities that can replace legacy credit management processes with an end-to-end solution accessible via API. Commenting on the acquisition, Fraser Gemmell, Chief Executive Officer, Pepper Advantage said: “The acquisition of Rieom.ai rapidly expands Pepper Advantage’s addressable market in India and represents an AI-driven credit management model we will soon be bringing to additional high-growth countries. It also furthers our suite of cutting-edge technology and gives us the opportunity to add credit risk analysis to our broader platform, a growing priority in the market since the Reserve Bank of India highlighted rising instances of fraud in its most recent annual report. Our commitment to improving our data and technology capabilities is expanding Pepper Advantage’s client pool from traditional loan originators at financial institutions, to include the fast-growing non-bank lending sector, which is typically more reliant on third-party tech providers that offer plug-and-play solutions.” Mukund Kulkarni, CEO of Pepper Advantage India, said: “India’s macro-economic growth is being propelled by astonishing demographics. India became the world’s most populous country last month, with the population expected to peak at 1.7 billion in the coming years, which would be almost 50% greater than that of China. We expect the credit and financial services markets to expand in line with these demographic trends, with systems growth for loans currently tracking at 20% year-on-year, and retail and MSME disbursement expected to grow at 19% annually for a decade. Such growth means credit providers will need to leverage the data and technology we offer to deliver services efficiently at scale. This technology will drive financial inclusion in India’s rapidly expanding population by assessing credit worthiness without a credit score, which can be a barrier to entry for the unbanked.” Ends bout Pepper Advantage Pepper Advantage is a global credit intelligence company that offers a range of advisory and credit management services and technologies across Asia, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The company operates in multiple asset classes including residential and commercial mortgages, real estate, SME loans, asset financing and leasing, auto and consumer loans, credit cards, retail finance and BNPL, in addition to offering a number of outsourced operational support services to both financial and non-financial clients. It helps investors, financial institutions, fintechs, and banks manage their credit portfolios, with a particular focus on clients whose customers are underserved by traditional mainstream lenders.
