Spy wars

Article Abstract:

South Korean President Kim Dae Jung is being forced to consider ways of exerting more control over the country's National Security Planning Agency (NSPA) in order to avoid this organization standing in the way of legitimate diplomacy. This problem has been highlighted recently by tension between South Korea and Russia over South Korean spies seeking to gain information about North Korea. NSPA officials believe that the use of bribery to obtain information about Russia's thinking on North Korea is justified.

Russian roulette: Seoul fears Yeltsin defeat could benefit Pyongyang

Article Abstract:

South Korean officials fear that a defeat of Boris Yeltsin could sever their country's expanding economic ties with Russia. Seoul and Moscow have been increasingly supportive of each other since Yeltsin took power and, with the resolution of some minor political issues, expected to be major trading partners. If Yeltsin is defeated and the hard-liners regain power, it is feared that South Korea will be abandoned as a trading partner in favor of North Korea.
