06/10/94 JIMMY CARTER TO VISIT SOUTH KOREA AND NORTH KOREA (Text: Announcement by Jimmy Carter 6/9) (200) Atlanta -- Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his wife have been invited to visit South Korea and North Korea. They will go as private citizens.
Following is the text of the June 9 announcement: (begin text) STATEMENT FROM FORMER U.S.PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER ANNOUNCING HIS PLANS TO VISIT KOREA My wife Rosalynn and I will be visiting North Korea and South Korea next week. We will be going as private citizens, representing the Carter Center. The initiative for this trip has been from Korea, not Washington, and I will have no official status relating to the U.S. government. Since 1991, I have received numerous invitations to make this visit, and on one occasion sent a Carter Center advance team to both countries to prepare for my prospective trip. As is the case with other international issues since leaving the White House, I have attempted to stay adequately briefed on the Korean situation. My hope is to discuss some of the important issues of the day with leaders in the area.
