SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea is offering condolences to North Korea's people as they mourn the death of longtime ruler Kim Jong Il.
Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik said in Seoul on Tuesday that no official delegation will be traveling from Seoul to Pyongyang to pay their respects.
But he tells reporters that the government will allow the families of former liberal President Kim Dae-jung and former Hyundai Asan chairman Chung Mong-hun to visit North Korea. Chung has business ties with North Korea.
North Korea says Kim died of a massive heart attack caused by overwork and stress.
