Kim Jong-il surfaces
2004-05-22
North Korea agreed Saturday to release the family members of Japanese citizens kidnapped by Northern agents, and Japan pledged aid to the impoverished country at a summit between the two nations’ leaders. Kim and Koizumi greeted each other in front of the summit room with a simple handshake. "I believe it is a good thing that you have returned and I welcome you," Kim said as they met. Koizumi bowed slightly and answered "I am fine," when Kim inquired about his health.

#3  I'm sure the first thing Koizumi thought about in that 'slight bow' was how far that missle flew over Japan...and where HE was!!
