Foreign ministers of Southeast Asian nations are meeting in Singapore amid concerns about North Korea and the state of U.S.-China relations.

The U.S. military held a ceremony to mark the return of the remains of U.S. soldiers who died in the Korean War. It comes at a sensitive time for U.S. relations with North Korea.

Reports that North Korea has continued to work on its ballistic missile program have come as no surprise to the South Korean government, which continues to try to build links to the North.

A U.S. Air Force plane has left North Korea with the remains of U.S. service members killed during the Korean War. There will be a repatriation ceremony August 1.

Police apprehended a 26-year-old man, whom they say detonated a small, homemade device. There were no reports of injuries other than the suspect.

"All this likeness of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, it's all make-believe," says the director of a civic organization in Yangon. "And now we know the real Aung San Suu Kyi."

Once hailed as a human rights standard-bearer, Suu Kyi is criticized internationally for her inaction in the ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas in Myanmar. Nearly a million of them escaped to Bangladesh.

"The risk of Facebook content sparking open violence is arguably nowhere higher right now than in Myanmar," six Myanmar organizations wrote in an open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in April.

U.N. investigators say Facebook has provided a platform for hate speech that may have facilitated genocide in Myanmar. Civil society groups in Myanmar are pressing Facebook to clean up its act.

The official reporting coming out of Pyongyang suggests the president and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reached more verbal agreements than they put on paper.

Governments across Asia and beyond are welcoming the first-ever summit between US and North Korean leaders as a step towards peace and nuclear disarmament. But there are differences of opinion on exactly what the statement signed by the two leaders means, and about what comes next.

The first daughter's quote — "Those who say it can not be done, should not interrupt those doing it." — left many in China scratching their heads.

Trade talks with China have stalled, after an inconclusive visit to Beijing by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. China is threatening to scrap an agreement to import more U.S. goods, if the U.S. goes ahead with tariffs.

"So much of what I've seen is, quite frankly, just deeply disturbing," U.S. aid chief Mark Green said after visiting a camp for Rohingya in Myanmar. For some, "this is the only reality they know."

The former head of North Korean military intelligence is traveling to New York to discuss a summit, according to President Trump.

President Trump canceled the June summit on Thursday. China has been pushing the two countries for years to hold direct talks, and it insists it'll continue doing that.

President Trump may be willing to ease up on ZTE, one of China's biggest telecom firms, to protect the overall economic relationship, a Beijing economist says. "The U.S. still needs China," he says.

President Trump has pledged to help rescue one of China's top telecommunication firms, which the U.S. Commerce Department has penalized for violating U.S. sanctions on North Korea and Iran. The penalties have convinced many Chinese that they can no longer rely on the U.S., and must manufacture their own hi-tech products.

The mood in South Korea after the meeting between leaders of the two Koreas is optimistic and euphoric. The U.S. and North Korea have set their first presidential summit for June 12 in Singapore.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo traveled to North Korea to discuss an expected U.S. and North Korea summit. He will fly back on the plane with three American detainees.
