Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun and Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Roberto Velasco met in Seoul to discuss expanding bilateral cooperation in artificial intelligence, energy security, and other areas of mutual interest. During the meeting, Cho emphasized the importance of bilateral ties amid global economic uncertainty and called for strengthening the institutional foundation for trade and investment. He specifically highlighted the need to diversify cooperation into space, education, and the defense industry.
Velasco stressed the importance of building a more inclusive international order that reflects the perspectives of middle powers, noting that the relationship is based on shared principles of democracy and human rights. The two ministers also noted that President Lee Jae Myung accepted an invitation from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to visit Mexico.
According to reports from a center right perspective, Velasco's broader working tour in South Korea from August 23 to 25 includes meetings with the National Security Advisor Wi Sung-lac, as well as representatives from the scientific community and executives from companies such as Samsung E&A and LG. This perspective frames the visit as a strategic effort to consolidate capital flows into Mexico's national industry and deepen ties with one of Mexico's largest foreign investors in the manufacturing sector.
