President Obama arrives in South Korea next week (November 18-19) as he wraps up his tour of Asia.
Opening markets and dealing with North Korea’s nuclear weapons are high on the agenda.
North Korea’s nuclear weapons remain as much a concern for President Obama and South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak now as when the two met in June.
Obama says his administration will talk one on one with Pyongyang, but only with the aim of bringing the North back to six-nation talks about scrapping its nuclear arsenal. Yonsei University International Politics Professor Choi Jong-kun saysObama’s presence in Seoul will send a strong signal to the North.
