Minister Ban`s Alone Briefing

On November 10, the minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Ban Gi-mun is giving a regular briefing to an empty press box at the briefing room of the annex of the government complex in Sejongro, Seoul. The reporters have been boycotting the briefing in protest since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade started regulating the entry of reporters in response to this paper’s article titled “U.S. Requests Korean government to Shoulder Cost of C4I Modernization.”
