Le sommet inter-coréen postposé à octobre !

Posted in General, Infos at 9:15 am by Tanguy

Suite aux récentes inondations qu’a connu la Corée du Nord, cette dernière a demandé de postposer le sommet inter-coréen prévu fin août au début du mois d’octobre. Cette demande a été acceptée sans trop de surprise par le gouvernement sud-coréen. Cependant, on peut imaginer la fébrilité qui doit gagner dans les rangs du partis présidentiel sud-coréen qui compte probablement sur ce sommet pour remonter quelque peu (ou du moins limiter les dégâts) lors des élections présidentielles prévues pour décembre.

Ajouté à l’affaire des hôtages en Afghanistan, voilà qui tombe mal pour le Président ROH Moo-Hyun.

“Report on Postponement of Pyongyang Visit by President Roh Moo Hyun”
Pyongyang, August 18 (© KCNA) — The north side sent a telephone message Saturday to the south side in connection with the postponement of the Pyongyang visit by President Roh Moo Hyun slated to take place late in August due to the flood which hit areas of the north side recently, causing huge damage.
In the message the north side referred to the fact that torrential rain hit most of its areas every day, causing great damage, and this made it top priority to recover from the flood damage and make the living of the people in the afflicted areas return to normal and, accordingly, proposed to the south side that President Roh Moo Hyun’s Pyongyang visit take place early in October by unavoidably postponing it at least one month in connection with the above said flood that struck those areas all of a sudden.
The south side expressed profound sympathy with the flood damage that struck areas of the north side and expressed understanding of the above-said proposal and consented to it.
Roh Moo Hyun will visit Pyongyang from Oct. 2 to 4, 2007 under the agreement reached between both sides.
