SEOUL (AP): Malaysian Foreign Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
met with South Korean President Kim Young-sam yesterday to invite
him to a summit of regional leaders in December.

Kim responded that he would "positively consider" attending
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Kuala Lumpur
Dec. 14 to Dec. 16, even though it comes just days before South
Korea's presidential election, his spokesman Yoon Yeo-joon said.

Abdullah also met with his South Korean counterpart, Yoo
Chong-ha, to discuss the situation in famine-threatened North
Korea. Yoo explained South Korea's current efforts to establish
peace with the rival North.
