The Paekhwawon State Guest House in Pyongyang has been chosen as the official accommodation for South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun during his visit to the North Korean capital Oct. 2-4 for the Second South-North Korea Summit, government officials said Thursday.

Paekhwawon, the North's best-rated state guest house reserved for visiting heads of state, was also used by Roh's predecessor, Kim Dae-jung, during the first inter-Korean summit in June 2000.

"Through consultations with North Korea, Paekhwawon has been finally selected as Roh's accommodation. Unification Minister Lee Jae-joung and other official attendants will also stay at the guest house," said a government official, asking to remain anonymous.

He said 48 special attendants, mostly representatives of the South's business community, will stay at the Potong River Hotel, with some of them likely to be assigned to another guest house called Juam because of space problems.

"During the first inter-Korean summit, 24 special attendants stayed at the Juam guest house. This time, however, the number doubled," said the official.

Meanwhile, 89 ordinary attendants and 50 reporters and media workers will stay at the Koryo Hotel, he added.
