N. Korean prime minister visits South Korea for first time in 15 years
SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's prime minister arrived here Wednesday to hold talks with his South Korean counterpart on implementing agreements reached at the second-ever inter-Korean summit last month.
In last month's summit in Pyongyang, President Roh Moo-hyun and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il
called for denuclearization of North Korea, the establishment of a permanent peace regime on the peninsula and a range of economic cooperation and rapprochement measures.
Kim Yong-il is the first North Korean premier to visit here in 15 years. The prime ministers of the Koreas held eight rounds of talks until 1992. Inter-Korean minister-level talks resumed in 2000 following the first-ever summit between the leaders of the Koreas earlier that year.
