South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, who is currently on a trip to Pyongyang, spoke highly of his country's economic cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), his spokesman said Wednesday.
During talks with top DPRK legislator Kim Yong Nam Tuesday, Roh "stressed that inter-Korean economic cooperation benefits the South's economy as well," said presidential spokesman Cheon Ho-seon, who accompanied Roh to Pyongyang, in a press release issued in Seoul.
Cheon said Kim and Roh talked about substantial matters surrounding inter-Korean economic cooperation.
Earlier in the day, Roh also met with his entourage over breakfast at the Baekhwawon State Guesthouse for one and a half hours, Cheon said.
Roh traveled some 200 km overland to Pyongyang Tuesday for a summit meeting with DPRK top leader Kim Jong Il.
The summit is the second of its kind since the peninsula was divided more than half a century ago. Roh's predecessor, Kim Dae-jung, traveled to the DPRK for the first inter-Korean summit in June 2000.
