this region,” Pence said, noting the US President’s recent decision on military action in Syria and Afghanistan. “We hope to achieve this objective (Pyongyang’s denuclearisation) through peaceful means, but all options are on the table,” he added. Pence said that his country’s “era of strategic patience” with North Korea is over and warned Pyongyang not to test the resolve of the US, Yonhap news agency reported. Calling the North the region’s “most dangerous and urgent threat”, Pence denounced its failure to follow through on its denuclearisation commitments.
yet another ballistic missile. On Monday, the US and South Korea launched a joint air force military exercise to ensure readiness against North Korea, according to the South Korean media. Earlier in the day, Pence visited the Korean demilitarised zone (DMZ), which he described as the “frontier of freedom”, according to the report. The DMZ is the highly-fortified de facto border between North and South Korea. South Korea’s acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn hailed the early deployment of the controversial US missile defence system (known as THAAD) designed to protect against threats from North Korea. Pence said he was disappointed that China had taken retaliatory actions against South Korea in response to the move. Pence said on Monday that Trump was “very hopeful that China will take actions to bring about a change of policy in North Korea. An abandonment of its nuclear weapons programme and its ballistic missile programme.”
NEW YORK, APR 17 (PTI): Pakistan should use diplomacy and not “proxies” that engage in violence to pursue its interests in Afghanistan and elsewhere, US National Security Adviser Lt Gen H R McMaster has said as he criticised the Pakistani leadership for selectively targeting terror groups. McMaster in an interview to Afghan television channel ToloNews appeared to take a “tougher line” on Pakistan, which has been accused of using the Taliban as a proxy force and giving its leaders sanctuary. “As all of us have hoped for many, many years — we have hoped that Pakistani leaders will understand that it is in their interest to go after these groups less selectively than they have in the past,” McMaster said during his latest visit to the war-torn country, according to a report in The New York Times. “The best way to pursue their interests in Afghanistan and elsewhere is through the use of diplomacy, and not through the use of proxies that engage in violence,” it quoted him as saying.
S Korea’s ex-president indicted for bribery
SEOUL, APR 17 (AFP): Ousted South Korean President Park Geun-Hye was today charged with bribery involving millions of dollars over the massive corruption and influence-peddling scandal that brought her down. Park, whose impeachment was confirmed by Seoul’s top court last month, is at the centre of a sprawling graft investigation, which has also implicated top businessmen and brought millions of people onto the streets. The former leader, already detained at a centre near Seoul, also faces charges of abusing her powers and leaking state secrets, Seoul prosecutors probing the scandal said in a statement. “We have formally charged Park... with multiple offences including abuse of power, coercion, bribery and leaking state secrets,” they said after wrapping up the months-long investigation. Park is accused of colluding with her confidante at the heart of the scandal, Choi Soon-sil, who is already on trial for coercing local conglomerates into donating a total of 77.4 billion won (USD 68 million)

Erdogan declared that Turkey’s had made a “historic” decision and appeared standing on top of a bus in front of thousands of cheering supporters outside his Huber Palace Istanbul residence on the shores of the Bosphorus. But the opposition were not content to rest on their better-than-expected performance despite a lopsided campaign in which the ‘Yes’ camp enjoyed vastly greater resources and dominated the airwaves. Both the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and the proKurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) said they would appeal the results from most of the ballot boxes due to alleged violations.

result dramatically catch up in the later count. Turkey’s three largest cities -- Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir -- all voted ‘No’ although ‘Yes’ prevailed in Erdogan’s Anatolian heartland. With the opposition crying foul over alleged violations, all eyes will be on Monday’s announcement by international observers from the OSCE and the Council of Europe who will give their initial assessment of the vote. “On April 17, we have woken up to a new Turkey,” wrote the pro-government Hurriyet columnist Abdulkadir Selvi. “The ‘Yes’ was victorious but the people have sent messages to the government and opposition that need to be carefully considered.” The new system is due to come into effect after elections in November 2019.

Prosecutors on Monday also charged Shin DongBin, the chairman of the retail giant Lotte Group, with bribing Choi and Park. Shin allegedly offered seven billion won (USD 6.15 million) to a sports foundation linked with Choi in exchange for a policy favour from Park over Lotte’s dutyfree business.

Erdogan celebrates referendum win
I S TA N B U L , A P R 1 7 (AFP): Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was today celebrating a narrow win in a referendum giving him sweeping new powers that exposed bitter divisions in Turkey and left incensed rivals demanding a major recount. The referendum was seen as crucial not just for shaping the political system of Turkey but also the future strategic direction of a nation that has been a NATO member since 1952 and an EU hopeful for half a century. The ‘Yes’ camp won 51.41 per cent in Sunday’s referendum on a new presidential system and ‘No’ 48.59, according to nearcomplete results released by the election authorities. But Erdogan’s victory was far narrower than expected, emerging only after several nail-biting hours late Sunday which saw the ‘No’
to two non-profit foundations. Choi allegedly used some of the donations for personal gain. Park is also accused of offering policy favours to top businessmen who enriched Choi, including Samsung heir Lee Jae-Yong who was arrested earlier and is also on trial for bribery.

SEOUL, APR 17 (IANS): US Vice President Mike Pence on Monday warned North Korea against testing America’s mettle with its sabre-rattling, saying Washington will defeat any use of military force with an “overwhelming and effective” response. During a press conference with South Korea’s Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, Pence also reassured South Korea that Washington’s security commitment to its Asian ally is “ironclad and immutable”. “North Korea will do well not to test his (Trump’s) resolve or strength of the armed forces of the US in
“ N o r t h Ko r e a a n swered our overtures (for denuclearization) with willful deception, broken promises, and nuclear and missile tests,” he said. In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he expects Washington to refrain from taking unilateral steps towards North Korea, Russia’s Tass news agency reported. “If the US Vice President meant that Washington could unilaterally use military force, then it is a risky road,” Lavrov said, referring to Pence’s comment that the “era of strategic patience is over”. Lavrov also said North Korea’s adventurous missile launches are unacceptable as they are a violation of the UN Security Council’s resolutions. “But that does not mean that others can violate international law in response and use military force,” he said, according to Tass. Pence began his threeday visit to South Korea -the first leg of his four-nation tour of the Asia-Pacific region -- on Sunday afternoon, hours after North Korea botched an attempt to launch
