SEOUL, Nov. 6 (Yonhap) -- Science ministries from South Korea and the Netherlands held the first joint committee meeting on science and technology in the central city of Sejong on Friday and discussed a range of topics from investment plans to policy discussions on artificial intelligence and scientific research.

Former high-ranking officials say, “There is not much chance of dialogue between North Korea and the United States after the U.S. election.”

Former high-ranking foreign and security officials predicted that the possibility of North Korea-US dialogue after the U.S. midterm elections would be low. Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Song Min-soon believed that the possibility of dialogue between the U.S. and North Korea was not high, and former Ambassador to the U.S. Cho Hyun-dong predicted that it would be difficult for President Trump to visit Pyongyang as North Korea aims to recognize it as a de facto nuclear state and ease sanctions. It was predicted that the relationship between Korea and the United States would become more difficult, and it was analyzed that the transition of wartime operational control would not be easy either.

Major French labor unions and student groups held demonstrations across the country on the 5th (local time) to protest poor public sector services and high prices. The Ministry of the Interior provisionally calculated that more than 600,000 people had participated by 5 p.m., which was more than the number of people who participated in the previous weekend's protests even though it was a weekday.
