South Korea has formally offered to invite the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-il to an international nuclear summit that Seoul will host.The semi-official Yonhap News Agency on Wednesday quoted a government official as saying that the genuine intention of South Korean government has been delivered to North Korea. The official said the formal offer was proposed during recent person-to-person contact between the two Koreas.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said earlier this month that he is ready to invite his northern counterpart to the nuclear summit next March on condition that Pyongyang first demonstrates its firm commitment to its nuclear disarmament. The invitation, if accepted, will bring Kim to a forum to be attended by some 50 global leaders, but observers say there is a fat chance he will show up.
