THE widow of former South Korean president Kim Dae Jung, who campaigned for reconciliation with North Korea, will visit the struggling country within months, it was announced yesterday.

North Korean officials and former aides to Mr Kim arranged Lee Hee Ho’s visit while meeting at the North Korean border city of Kaesong.

Kim Jong Un invited Mr Lee to visit last year after thanking her for sending flowers on the third anniversary of the death of his father, former leader Kim Jong Il.
