| North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il wants to visit South Korea to meet President Kim Dae-Jung, the North's foreign minister told the ITAR-TASS news agency. The reclusive head of state "wants to visit Seoul to meet with the president of the South Korean Republic, Kim Dae-Jung," said Paek Nam Sun, who starts a visit to Russia on Sunday. The two leaders met at a landmark summit in Pyongyang in June 2000, but inter-Korean rapprochement talks have stalled since US President George W. Bush took office, adopting a tougher line on the North. The principle of a second meeting had been included in the inter-Korean declaration signed in June 2000, Paek said. Turning to the United States, Paek said that conditions for resuming a dialogue did not presently exist. Let us know when you make up your minds, okay? |
