Tentative Dates Set For Bush Visit Here

U.S. President George W. Bush will visit Korea before attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum meeting in Shanghai on October 20-21, a Korean Foreign Ministry official said Sunday.

The U.S. and Korean foreign ministers tentatively agreed on the visit at talks here Friday between Foreign Minister Han Seung-soo and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.

President Kim Dae-jung visited Washington last March. Mr. Bush is expected here on October 17-19.

Mr. Bush will visit both Korea and Japan during his Asian trip, the ministry official said, quoting U.S. officials.

Unsurprisingly, the ministry official said the talks here would center on the U.S.-Korean alliance and peninsula politics.
