South Korean President To Visit Seattle


South Korean president to visit: "South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun will make his first trip to Seattle on Saturday, talking with community leaders before departing the next day for an Olympics meeting in Guatemala.

Roh, 61, will arrive Saturday morning and meet with Korean Americans later in downtown Seattle to discuss U.S.-Korea relations, trade and a possible visa waiver for Koreans who want to visit the United States.

Before that 300-person meeting, first lady Kwon Yang-suk will meet with non-profit and foundation groups in downtown Seattle.

Participants will include representatives from the Bellevue Seattle Korean School, Korean Women's Association, World Vision and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, officials said."
