Koreas outline aid and co-operation accord
The Koreas were outlining agreements for aid and boosting cooperation at high-level talks scheduled to wrap up today, with the North Korean delegation also planning a rare meeting with South Korea’s president.
The encounter between South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and the North Korean delegation, led by chief cabinet counsellor Kwon Ho Ung, follows a meeting last week in Pyongyang where a South Korean minister saw the North’s reclusive Kim Jong Il – who raised hopes of a breakthrough in his nuclear stand-off with the international community.
