| Seoul to Raise Nork Detention at ASEAN Forum |
| 2009-07-05 |
| Seoul will raise the issue of a South Korean citizen who has been held incommunicado in North Korea for over three months during the ASEAN Regional Forum in Thailand later this month. Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan told reporters Thursday the issue will have to be brought to the international forum. Last year, Seoul took the issue of a South Korean tourist shot to death in the North's Mt. Kumgang resort to the ASEAN forum. The foreign minister also said consultations among the five members of six-party nuclear talks excluding North Korea on the sidelines of the forum are unlikely. |
