If Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon were to be the tour guide for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his upcoming visit, he would show Mr Kim the city’s longest river and main train station.
Mr Park, responding to a question by The Straits Times at his New Year’s address to foreign media yesterday, said the North Korean leader told him that he is keen to cooperate with the South on improving the water quality of the main Taedong River that runs through Pyongyang.
The two men met last September, when Mr Park was part of the entourage that travelled to Pyongyang with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
Mr Park said he would like to take Mr Kim to the Han River, which runs through the heart of Seoul, and show him the river’s scenic views and water filtration plant, “where we produce world-class tap water”.
Seoul Station, he added, is also top on the itinerary because it would be the beginning and the end of a planned rail project to link the two Koreas and connect to Eurasia by land.
