Excerpt
Excerpt: In a dramatic move, Ms. Park Keun Hye, the daughter of the assassinated South Korean president Park Chung Hee and a member of the South's National Assembly, made an unofficial visit to Pyongyang from May 11 to 14 at the invitation of the North's National Reconciliation Council. Park's surprise visit came in a complex political situation in the South as she left the conservative first opposition Grand National Party and started bitterly condemning its leader Ri Hoe Chang, whom Pyongyang has branded as an anti-nation, anti-reunification, pro-American traitor. It also came as the presidential election race is getting heated toward December when a new president is to replace Kim Dae Jung, advocate of a reconciliatory sunshine policy. Ms. Park, who is in the middle of forming a new political party as chairperson of the Preparatory Committee for Founding the Union for the Future Korea, is believed to be among runners for the race sooner or later.
