For an expert's take on what we can read into today's memorial ceremony for Kim Jong-il...
we connect live to Dr. Kim Chul-woo ... senior research fellow at Korea Institute for Defense
Analyses.
Thank you for talking to us.
1.
What was the most distinct feature of today's ceremony...
compared to last year's...
that
you found noteworthy?
2.
If the state's second most powerful man is now a military hardliner as opposed to a moderate
economic reformer...
what changes can we
expect
to see?
3.
South Korea's defense minister expects a provocation in a matter of months.
Will it be a routine song and dance... or should we take this more seriously than before?
Dr. Kim Chul-woo ... senior research fellow at Korea Institute for Defense Analyses, thank
you very much for your time this evening.
