Sweetness and light as China aide visits

President Kim Dae-jung met with Tang Jiaxuan, the Chinese foreign minister, in the Blue House on Saturday. Officials there said the two men discussed the situation on and around the Korean Peninsula and practical measures to promote cooperation of the two nations.

On Friday, Mr. Tang said in meetings at the Foreign Ministry that China had agreed to release a Korean being held on charges of aiding North Korean defectors and allowed more defectors in the South Korean Embassy in Beijing to go to the South.

The presidential spokeswoman, Park Sun-sook, quoted President Kim as saying mutual trust and practical cooperation between the two countries should be stepped up as the two nations mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of full diplomatic relations.
