North and South Korea Gear Up for Talks

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Kim Jong-un is set to meet South Korean leader Moon Jae-in at the border between the two countries for talks. The discussions could pave the way for a proposed meeting with President Trump. We assess what's at stake. Also, we hear from entrepreneur James Longcroft about a biodegradable alternative to the plastic bottle. Plus, as China continues to exert its authority in the South China Sea, Bill Hayton tells us about the material losses being suffered by Vietnam and the Philippines. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Diane Brady, a writer and entrepreneur, in New York, and Simon Littlewood, President of the Asia Now Consulting Group in Singapore.
