 Korea - July 2001
North and South Korea experienced one of the hottest and driest spring seasons (March 21 to June 21) on record this year.
The Agricultural Counselor in Seoul reported that the spring drought caused minor planting problems for the 2001/02 rice crop in South Korea, but the effect on yield was not expected to be serious.
The drought probably had a greater impact on non-irrigated crops such as vegetables, oilseeds, and coarse grains, but the full extent won't be known until later in the growing season.

 Defectors_12
South Korean intelligence officials said yesterday that a North Korean agent had successfully infiltrated South Korea in the wave of defectors who have fled their communist homeland and sought asylum in the South.
During a 15-month stay in South Korea, an intelligence official said, the agent gathered information related to the location of safe houses for defectors and their security status.
Their fear is that any mention of the 200,000 political prisoners in forced labor camps, the suppression of the population's civil and political freedoms or the punishment meted out to those who try to flee the country would antagonize the North Korean government and jeopardize chances for a nuclear agreement.
