North and South Korea are to hold only their second-ever summit, officials have announced. | |
President Roh Moo-hyun will visit the North Korean capital Pyongyang for a meeting with the North's leader Kim Jong-il between 28-30 August. | |
The summit comes seven years after the first one, when Mr Kim met then-South Korean President Kim Dae-jung. | |
Correspondents say the meeting will be a boost to Mr Roh, who is approaching the end of his presidential term. | |
