SEOUL -- An entourage of South Korean business leaders accompanied President Moon Jae-in on his three-day visit to Pyongyang to talk up economic cooperation in hopes of bringing the Northern neighbor closer to reconciliation.
Among the group of 17 business people is Lee Jae-yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics and the group's de facto leader. Lee, along with the rest of the high-profile contingent, met Tuesday with Ri Ryong Nam, North Korea's deputy prime minister for economic affairs.
