[QUOTE]U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he would consider a trip to North Korea as part of his efforts toward peace on the Korean peninsula.
Mr. Ban, a South Korean, made his comments Tuesday at South Korea's National Assembly where he received the 2012 Seoul Peace Prize. He was the first U.N. chief to address the body.
“I will spare no effort to help both the South and the North move toward eventual reunification and a Korean peninsula that is peaceful and free of nuclear weapons. As secretary-general, I am committed to doing my utmost to play any role in helping to advance peace on the Korean peninsula. That includes visiting North Korea, under the right conditions.”[/QUOTE]
If Mr. Ban visits North Korea ... I think that'll be a breakthrough! He's Korean after all, so I was expecting him to put more efforts to maintain peace in that East Asia region. I think this is a good thing.
The question is ... how will Kim Jong Un react? The pompous dictator might try to pull something .. it'll be a sight to see the UN chief shaming Kim in front of the world.
Mr. Ban
Sounds like starpluck is going to NK
[sp]I'm so sorry[/sp]
This sounds like a commie plot to me.
I don't know why but what would happen if they unify and then the NK people know what has happened to them all these years

That would be really interesting. I have no idea how they will react! All the hatred and anger will be directed toward one single family.
I really want to go to North Korea. Just today I was listening to a guy (Drew Scanlon from Giant Bomb if you're interested) discuss his weird and wonderful trip to the DPRK through a tour company. It's not even that expensive considering it's all inclusive, although that isn't really saying much.

Ban Ki-Moon sounds like a name of some character in Star Wars

Or banned

He'll just deflect it with his lightsaber.
I hope that we'll be able to see a reunification of the Korean peninsula in our life times.
I thought the UN Chief banned Ki Moon.
Anyone interested should watch the Vice travel guide on North Korea to see what visiting there is like.
My tired brain read this as 'Un Chief ban Keith Moon visiting North Korea' Then i remembered he's dead.
