China-Japan-Koreas
Lee Offers Possibility of Summit with North
2011-02-02
President Lee Myung-bak suggests a summit could be held with North Korea depending on Pyongyang's attitude. In a televised discussion program Tuesday, Lee indicated that proposed military talks with North Korea could open the way for a summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
Bad idea. Let the North stew in its juices. You have a country to run and a military to prepare in case the worst happens. Let the Chinese take care of their lapdog, and make sure the Chinese know it.
Lee says a summit could be held, if needed, but Pyongyang needs to seize the existing good opportunity to engage in dialogue with Seoul. And, he reiterates, South Korea has been insisting that North Korea take responsibility for last year's provocative acts.

The Defense Ministry here on Tuesday said the two Koreas have agreed to hold preliminary military talks on Feb. 8. Colonel-level officers will meet to prepare for a gathering of more senior officers later. The South also asked for discussions about the North's nuclear weapons programs. Pyongyang has yet to respond to that request.

There have only been two summits between the leaders of North and South Korea. The first came in 2000. The second was held in 2007.
