Gaybutton Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Although some may argue that the problems regarding North Korea have nothing to do with Thailand, I think the story is highly relevant given North Korea's proximity to Thailand and the fact that so many travelers to Thailand have stops in South Korea and Japan. __________ Report: North Korean Leader Regrets Test AP North Korean leader Kim Jong Il expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to a Chinese delegation and said Pyongyang would return to international nuclear talks if Washington backs off a campaign to financially isolate the country, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday. "If the U.S. makes a concession to some degree, we will also make a concession to some degree, whether it be bilateral talks or six-party talks," Kim was quoted as telling a Chinese envoy, the mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo reported, citing a diplomatic source in China. Kim told the Chinese delegation that "he is sorry about the nuclear test," the newspaper reported. The delegation led by State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan met Kim on Thursday and returned to Beijing later that day Quote
