Clinton warmly shook hands with all as he passed along the proverbial red carpet and spent 15 minutes at a welcoming ceremony before heading to the Hyatt Hotel. He will meet with Korean president, Kim Dae Jung on the 21st at the Blue House(Chong Wa Dae).
His wife and first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is now visiting Latin America to lend support to victims of Typhoon Mitch, and was unable to accompany her husband.
