Barack Obama-Kim Jong Il Meeting Could Be On Cards

During his Predisential campaign Barack Obama said he would sit down without preconditions during the first year of his administration with leaders of several nations whose governments have been at odds with the United States, including North Korea.

The South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak, said in an interview at the G20 financial crisis Summit in Washington DC that he would welcome such a move by the US President-elect.

"Barack Obama and Joe Biden will not take any options off the table, but they will emphasize first and foremost the power of American diplomacy and make clear the substantial benefits to Iran and North Korea of abandoning their dangerous nuclear programs while simultaneously conveying the enormous costs to them should they fail to do so," according to the Web site.
