South Korea's Ministry of Agriculture has imposed a ban on pork imports from Germany following a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the Brandenburg state.

The South Korean Ministry of Agriculture has banned all pork imports from Germany after a recent outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in a herd of buffalo in the eastern German state of Brandenburg.

Germany has detected its first case of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) since 1988. It was discovered on Friday (10 January) and traced to water buffalo in Brandenburg, near Berlin.

French President Emmanuel Macron will meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the anniversary of the Elysee Treaty, signed between the two nations on 1963. Meanwhile, Yoon Suk Yeol is likely to appear before South Korea’s parliamentary special committee.

Germany was on Monday taking steps to limit the potential spread of foot-and-mouth disease, as the outbreak of the virus threatened to hit the country's agricultural exports.

Yoon was brought into custody about three hours after hundreds of law enforcement officers entered the residential compound in their second attempt to detain him.
