Who faces bigger threat than nuclear's?
JAKARTA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri is deeply concerned
about the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, but had to
postpone a meeting with the North Korean foreign minister in
order to attend to matters with a more direct political
implication.
Megawati rescheduled a planned meeting with visiting North
Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun, as she needed to prepare
for the live public dialog on Wednesday evening.
"You know there is going to be a debate later today
(Wednesday), so we have to reschedule the meeting with North
Korean foreign minister for Thursday," an aide told The Jakarta
Post.
The ASEAN summit closed on Wednesday, less than a week ahead
of the July 5 presidential election and on the same day as the
first of the two-day live public dialog featuring all candidates
was broadcast nationwide. -- JP
