Surprise surprise...

Well it seems that Mr Chong is getting his wish and having a go at the North Koreans. This will really be his time to shine and get his face on many a postcard. Seriously, I am not looking forward to seeing his mug plastered along side that of Kim Jon Ill.

Chung is to lead a delegation to Cabinet-level talks in Seoul from June 21 through June 24...

The unification minister has also been named to lead a 30-member government delegation to a ceremony in Pyongyang marking the fifth anniversary of the meeting between former president Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

And will ya look at this! I could have sworn a few days ago I would be expecting some news on the South sending food aide to the North. There always seems to be a price in getting the DPRK to the table. It's a shame it's always the ROK that's paying it.
