South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Burma visit



On Monday May 14, the article stated that there was a North Korean bombing attack in 1983, 29 years ago. Because of this issue, South Korean president Lee Myung-bak visited Burma to discuss the security concerns. He traveled to Burma from Beijing to have trilateral talks with Chinese and Japanese leaders for two days. At the meeting, the Chinese stated that "Pyongyang may be planning a third nuclear test." This will cause major disturbances to South Korea, China, and possibly Japan as North Korea failed to launch their rocket. President Lee Myung-bak trip is for diplomatic purposes not for economic ties, as it may be in South Korea's interest. When looking at the military links, Burma and North Korea had diplomatic ties twice and may be working together to develop nuclear missiles. That in said, tensions have aroused, making police to search for clues especially "around the shrine where the attack took place in 1983."
