Yoon Suk Yeol is S Korea’s new President

Conservative Yoon Suk Yeol took office as South Korea’s president on Tuesday, facing a tougher mix of foreign policy and domestic challenges than other recent South Korean leaders encountered at the start of their presidencies. The former top prosecutor began his five-year term at midnight by taking command of South Korea’s 555,000-member military and receiving a briefing on North Korea from his military chief at the new presidential office in central Seoul, formerly the Defence Ministry building.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Yoon Suk Yeol for being elected as South Korea`s new President and expressed a desire to strengthen ties between both the countries.
