Kim Jong-Il will visit Seoul in July for second summit

TOKYO -- North Korea and South Korea are planning a second summit, this time in Seoul. Officials said North Korean ruler Kim Jong-Il will arrive in South Korea by the end of the month.

"The high-level talks will open this month," South Korean Unification Minister Park Jae-Kyu said.

Last month, South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung arrived in Pyongyang for the first summit between the two neighbors in 50 years. The meeting was called a success and was said to have significantly lowered tension between Seoul and the communist north.
