South Korea’s Ministry of Unification (MoU) approved an application by five officials from the Kim Dae-jung Peace Center to visit North Korea for the purpose of coordinating the schedule of Lee Hui-ho’s visit to the North. DPRK leader Kim Jong Un invited Lee, the former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung’s widow, to visit in winter 2014. Her visit was cancelled twice, once because of her health, and later North postponed it. The Kim Dae-jung Peace Center submitted the application on Thursday and will visit Kaesong tomorrow. According to the regular press briefing from the MoU, it is a one-day trip. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
