North Korea envoys extend Seoul stay


    SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean officials visiting the South for the funeral of former President Kim Dae-jung have extended their stay in Seoul from an earlier plan to leave on Saturday, South Korean media reported.

    YTN cable TV news said the extension might be related to a possible meeting with the South's President Lee Myung-bak. A spokeswoman of the Unification Ministry said she could not confirm anything about the northern delegation's schedule.
