President Roh Moo-hyun will meet North Korean Prime Minister Kim Yong-il and other delegates at a farewell lunch today at Cheong Wa Dae, according to an official.

A meeting is being arranged between Roh and the North Korean delegates probably over lunch, Kim Nam-shik, spokesman of the Unification Ministry, said Thursday.

Roh will host the lunch for the North Koreans who came to Seoul for a premier-level meeting from Nov. 14-16.

The delegation is scheduled to leave for Pyongyang on a 5 p.m. flight after the lunch, Kim said.
