North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is ready to meet with South Korean President Lee Myung Bak “at any time,” former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said.
Carter said he received a message from Kim during a three-day trip to North Korea. While the North has made multiple appeals to resume talks with the South, Lee’s administration has said the regime must first accept responsibility for two attacks last year that killed 50 South Koreans.
