Korean Leaders Meet to Restart Nuke Talks

South Korean Prime Minister Lee Hae-Chan and North Korea's No. 2 man, Kim Yong Nam, met at an Asian-African summit in Jakarta, said Jacob Tobing, Indonesia's ambassador to South Korea. It was the second meeting at the summit between the two leaders, who addressed such key issues as attempts to persuade the North to return to six-party talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to suspend its nuclear program. At the conference Lee Hai-chan and Kim Yong Nam spoke about the issue concerning the current status of the nuclear arms program. This first meeting was to re-establish inter-Korean dialogue and to exchange views on the six party talks. Although the six party talks may not resume for some time, this is a good first step in international relations. Do you think if this interaction between the North and South continues it might help economic conditions in Asia by increasing FDI?
