SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister met South Korean officials on their heavily defended border on Wednesday to deliver flowers and her brother’s condolences over the death of a former South Korean first lady.
The sister, Kim Yo Jong, visited the border village of Panmunjom in the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas to pay her respects to Lee Hee-ho, the widow of former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, a South Korean official said.Kim Dae-jung tried to promote better ties on the divided Korean peninsula and became the first South Korean leader to meet North Korea’s then-leader, Kim Jong Il, in 2000.
“She said she hopes the South and the North will continue cooperation, upholding Ms Lee Hee-ho’s resolve for reconciliation and cooperation between the people,” South Korea’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, told reporters.Moon’s press secretary told a separate briefing that Kim Yo Jong also said her brother had a “special feeling” toward Lee.
Reclusive North Korea and the rich, democratic South are technically still at war because their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty.
