SEOUL (AFP) - CNN founder Ted Turner arrived in the North Korean capital Pyongyang, North Korean official media reported. "Robert Edward Turner, chairman of the Turner Foundation INC. of the United States, and his party ... arrived here," said the Korean Central News Agency, monitored here. South Korean officials said Turner was visiting the Stalinist state to discuss a project to turn the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas into a nature reserve. |
He will visit an international environmental forum on the project here early next week, they said. The North and South Korean armies face each other across the heavily fortified DMZ which was set up after the end of hostilities in the 1950-53 Korean War.
