According to S.K. media during the "N-S Korean Summit" last month Kim Jong-il complete refused to use the words "openness" and "reform" for the future of the D.P.R.K. (and after Roh Moo-hyun's visit in P.Y. even the S.K. gov't agreed to avoid this words in connection with a possible future of N.K.^^).

But now - surprise, surprise!! - "Kim Jong-il has expressed intention to model after the Vietnam-style economic reform and openness policy, dubbed Doi Moi", Yazhou Zhoukan Weekly (亞洲週刊/HK) reported in its y'day's edition.

So y'day also Yonhap, like other S.K. media, reported following:

Kim Jong-il expresses intention to follow Vietnam's Doi Moi

   North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has expressed an intention to benchmark Vietnam's two decades-old reform and openness policy "Doi Moi", a Hongkong local weekly magazine reported Sunday..

   Vietnam has pursued the reform and openness policy since 1986 to introduce a market economy, including liberalization of trade and finance with foreign countries to a certain degree, and is enjoying rapid economic growth.

   Kim made the remark while meeting with Nong Duc Manh, secretary-general of Vietnam's Communist Party, in Pyongyang last week, the weekly Yazhou Zhoukan said in its Sunday edition, citing an interview with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem who accompanied the Vietnamese secretary general to the North Korean capital.

   "Chairman Kim Jong-il highly evaluated the achievements Vietnam's Doi Moi has made in the past 20 years while meeting with Secretary General Manh," Khiem said..

   The ongoing visit to Hanoi by North Korean Prime Minister Kim Yong-il aims to prepare for Kim Jong-il's visit to Vietnam, the magazine said..

   Diplomatic sources here said it is remarkable that Kim Jong-il expressed interest in Doi Moi, although North Korea is unlikely to closely follow the program of reform and openness having been pursued by Vietnam.

   North Korea might want to adopt the reform model of Vietnam amid reports that China has shown a lukewarm attitude to North Korea's efforts to build special economic zones near the North's border with China, analysts said..

Harrharr, "dear" Kim Jong-il: "openness" and "reform" are the basics of the rapid (of course capitalist) economic development in Vietnam (almost the same like in China). But "openness" and "reform".. that's exactly what you (f.. idiot!!) want to avoid!!! Some more questions???
