Megawati to carry Kim note to North

Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri will carry to Pyeongyang a message from President Kim Dae-jung urging a resumption of inter-Korean talks. Ms. Megawati will visit Pyeongyang March 28.

According to an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, President Kim's message will say that Seoul, Tokyo and Washington seek to ease tension in the peninsula through dialogue and that Pyeongyang should make the utmost efforts to open further talks.

The president also will urge the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, to make his long-promised return visit to Seoul.

President Megawati will inform Seoul of Pyeongyang's response when she visits South Korea March 30, the ministry official said.
