South Korea Agrees to Visit by North
Mark McDonald
"HONG KONG The South Korean government has agreed to allow North Korean diplomats to travel to Seoul on Friday to bring a funeral wreath for the former South Korean president Kim Dae-jung.
"Several North Korean envoys are due to fly to Seoul on Friday and depart on Saturday, according to Seon Mi-kim, a press official with South Korea's Unification Ministry.
"The timing of the trip suggests the North Koreans will not attend the state funeral, which has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon. Instead, they are expected to meet with Mr. Kim's widow, Lee Hee-ho, and other relatives, and perhaps visit a memorial altar at the National Assembly."
