Summary
In April, South Korean President Lee and French President Macron held a summit in Seoul, formally elevating the bilateral relationship to a "global strategic partnership." The two leaders pledged cooperation on addressing Middle East energy shocks and security matters in the Strait of Hormuz.
Separately, South Korea's intelligence agency reported having credible information indicating that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's teenage daughter is being positioned as his successor. The agency assessed it is reasonable to view her as the heir apparent to lead North Korea. In the same report, the agency noted that North Korea appears to be keeping some distance from Iran, a move possibly intended to preserve diplomatic options with the United States.
