INCHEON, South Korea, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — Agriculture ministers from China, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan held the fourth trilateral meeting here on Monday.

The meeting, which focused on food security, animal diseases and sustainable agriculture, took place seven years after the previous one, which was held in China in 2018, according to a joint statement.

During the meeting, ministers highlighted the many challenges facing the agricultural sector, including the climate crisis, the cross-border spread of infectious diseases and unstable supply chains. They reiterated the importance of sharing information and working together to address them.

The heads of departments agreed to deepen mutually complementary cooperation, paying special attention to areas such as intelligent agricultural technologies, green and low-carbon agriculture, and training young specialists for agriculture.

Chinese Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Jun said China is willing to work with Japan and the ROK to comprehensively resume agricultural cooperation and establish a new trilateral cooperation structure in this area that is more sustainable, broader in scope, closer in communication and richer in content, so as to jointly contribute to promoting the revitalization, prosperity and development of agriculture and rural areas.

The ministers agreed to cooperate in the area of globally significant agricultural heritage systems and to strengthen cooperation at the international and regional levels.

Following the meeting, the parties issued a joint statement announcing their intention to hold such meetings on a regular basis. The next meeting will be held in Japan. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — Yemen should be avoided from being drawn further into regional chaos, including the war in Gaza, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg said at the monthly Security Council briefing on the situation in Yemen on Tuesday.

Regional chaos continues to undermine prospects for peace and stability in Yemen, where the situation remains extremely fragile, he said.

“For Yemen to have a real chance for peace, it must be protected from further involvement in the ongoing regional chaos emanating from the war in Gaza,” Grundberg stressed. “Therefore, attacks on civilian vessels in the Red Sea must stop. Rocket attacks on Israel and subsequent Israeli strikes on Yemen must also stop,” he added.

In addition to complicating mediation efforts to achieve a long-term solution to the conflict in Yemen, this escalation has led to the near-total destruction of port facilities on Yemen's west coast, placing enormous strain on the country's vital infrastructure, the special envoy noted.

In July, unloading at the port of Salif took three times longer than in June. The increase in waiting and unloading times at the ports of Hodeidah and Salif is a major concern, as they are important entry points for essential food products, Grundberg said.

According to him, the development of the situation in this direction could have been stopped, but instead the situation worsened: in particular, on July 27, the Houthis announced an expansion of the circle of ships that they will consider legitimate targets. “To protect the people of Yemen and ensure broader stability in the region, it is urgent to reduce the level of violence and renew the focus on diplomacy,” the special envoy said.

Speaking about the internal situation in Yemen, H. Grundberg stressed the need to continue to support de-escalation on the contact lines and help the parties build trust.

“There is an urgent need for proactive and pragmatic measures that can pave the way for peace in Yemen. We must remain steadfast in our joint efforts to move Yemen toward a future in which the country is at peace with itself and its region,” said H. Grundberg. –0–

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2 percent in July and 2.7 percent year-on-year, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said Tuesday.

Excluding the more volatile food and energy sectors, core CPI rose 0.3 percent in July and 3.1 percent over the past year. Both figures were exactly in line with consensus forecasts, which had called for a 0.3 percent monthly increase and a 3.0 percent annual increase. However, the monthly increase was the largest since January.

BTS noted that most of the growth in the overall index was accounted for by housing costs, which rose by 0.2 percent.

Shortly after the data was released, US President Donald Trump again criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, saying he was considering allowing a “massive” lawsuit against Powell over the Fed’s headquarters renovation.

SEOUL, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — A national think tank in Korea on Tuesday left its 2025 Asian economic growth forecast at 0.8 percent, reflecting instability in the construction industry.

According to the Korea Development Institute, real gross domestic product (GDP) adjusted for inflation will grow by 0.8 percent in 2025.

That's unchanged from estimates released three months earlier, with real GDP forecast to grow 1.6 percent in 2026.

The still-low growth outlook is due to a sluggish construction sector and worsening trade conditions due to the imposition of US tariffs.

Investment in construction is expected to fall 8.1 percent this year, 3.9 percent below forecasts released three months earlier.

In volume terms, goods exports are forecast to grow 1.2 percent this year after growing 6.4 percent last year.

Forecasts for private consumption and fixed capital investment for 2025 were revised upward by 0.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively.

The current account surplus is projected to reach $106.2 billion in 2025 and $91.2 billion in 2026.

The consumer price inflation forecast was set at 2.0 percent for 2025 and 1.8 percent for 2026.

The number of jobs is expected to increase by 150,000 this year and by 110,000 next year. –0–
