Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan has just wrapped up a rare visit to North Korea, his first since the historic Trump-Kim summit in Singapore back in 2018.

The visit comes amid fresh missile tests by Pyongyang, rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, and growing uncertainty across the world stage.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Oh Ei Sun, Singapore Institute of International Affairs, to find out more.
