Inter-Korean Sports: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC arrived in South Korea for an AFC semifinal against Suwon FC Women, the first such travel in eight years, renewing hopes for thaw. Foreign Policy & Risk: A drone strike hit the UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant area, no injuries reported, as Trump again warned the “clock is ticking” for Iran and the ceasefire remains fragile. Diaspora Strategy: Korea’s Overseas Koreans Agency chief urged the country to treat its 7 million-strong diaspora as a “strategic asset,” as returnees and integration issues grow.
