On June 13, 2024, Russian President Putin visited the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow, despite being under multiple international sanctions and facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court. Starting on June 18th, Putin will embark on a rare visit to North Korea and Vietnam, traditional allies of Russia. This visit comes amidst strained relations with the West following Russia's aggression in Ukraine in 2022. North Korea's vast arsenal of Soviet-style ammunition has helped Russia in its material losses on the frontlines, leading to a newfound honeymoon period in their relationship. The US strongly protests Putin's visit to Vietnam, warning against normalizing his actions. Vietnam, which recently saw political upheaval with the resignation of its Parliament Speaker, will be hosting Putin, adding a complex diplomatic layer to the visit.

On June 17, 2024, the Finance Center held discussions surrounding the issue of 'New Qing An Safe Family Housing Loan,' aiming to prevent these loans from being manipulated for speculative purposes. The Ministry of Finance instructed government-owned banks such as Land Bank and Taiwan Cooperative Bank to gather for a meeting regarding anti-fraud mechanisms, where it was agreed that borrowers should sign undertakings for 'self-occupancy' purposes. However, the Ministry sees room for improvement in the consensus reached and has called for a higher-level discussion led by general managers of public banks scheduled for Wednesday.
