HEADLINE: Bill Clinton to Visit Korea Nov. 13-15


Former United States President Bill Clinton will visit South Korea from Nov. 13-15 at the invitation of SBS, a spokesman for the broadcasting service said yesterday.

Clinton, who last visited here in 1998, is scheduled to give a televised speech on Nov. 14, timed to coincide with the station's 13th anniversary, he added.

''His speech is likely to evolve around the current North Korean crisis. I think he will stress the importance of a dialogue-based North Korea policy he pursued while in office,'' the spokesman also said.

A courtesy call to President Roh Moo-hyun could take place on Nov. 14, and a separate meeting with South Korean children is scheduled during his stay here.

SBS has also invited U.S. Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe, who will arrive here on Nov. 15 to give a televised speech on his personal and his party's views on the current North Korean nuclear crisis.
