Radio Korea International
Review by: Nadège Gella Jean-Pierre
Radio Korea International
was an interesting radio program. It was an English
broadcast of news in Korea. This was offered on News on Demand.
You could
listen to Radio Korea International in ten different languages.
This is very
useful radio program, because it offers up-to-date news in Korea.
In addition,
there were also links to information on Korea, including language lessons
on
line.
This edition of Radio Korea International discussed how President Jung
was taking
a trip to Europe in the beginning of March. The president will
be making a
10 day trip to Europe and holding a summit with the leaders of Italy,
Germany
and France. This summit will be held the 2nd of March. The topics
between the
leaders will include talks on bilateral relations and cooperation between
the
countries. The summit will also focus on the political situation
on the Korean
Peninsula. There will also be a focus on the Asia/Europe meeting
in October.
GM Motors was also discussed in this radio broadcast. GM is back
on track and
is expecting profits from 1999, thanks to the robust minivan sales
last year
of $160 million. The KIA was also a big hit. Models like
Carnival were very
popular. Sales were up 100% from the last year.
The law in South Korea for the first time recognized brain death.
The first
successful transplantation was performed after the law was passed.
The Defense Ministry announced that they would increase the number of
women
officers in the next years.
