S Korea’s former President Kim Dae-jung dies
Published: 17/08/2009 05:00
| Former President Kim Dae-jung died at the age of 85 at 1:42 p.m. (0442 GMT) Tuesday, Seoul’s Severance Hospital said.
Kim, placed under a respirator three days later, showed signs of improvement, but later was put back on it and went on a surgery on his bronchial tubes in late July. Beginning late Monday night, Kim’s health condition exacerbated, with his heart failing intermittently, the hospital officials were quoted as saying. Kim, taking office in 1998, served as president for five years, during which he met with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong-il for the first time since the armistice of the Korean War. During his presidency, Kim also won the Nobel Prize for his “lifelong” strife for democracy and efforts to realize reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula. VietNamNet/Xinhuanet |
