Seoul seeks regional action on Cambodia’s organized crimes at ASEAN summit

13 Sept 10:40 Key points summarised by AI

South Korea will propose a multilateral cooperation framework with ASEAN at the upcoming summit to address a surge in organized crimes, specifically job scams, in Cambodia.
The initiative aims to combat the rising number of job scams targeting nationals from various countries, which have led to serious crimes including kidnapping and forced confinement.
Seoul seeks to establish a cooperative system, including joint investigations with ASEAN policing authorities, and potentially engage other multinational organizations like the UN to effectively uproot these transnational criminal networks.
This diplomatic move follows an urgent visit by a South Korean interagency team to Cambodia to discuss the return of detained Koreans and strengthen coordination against these crimes.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
