NLL Will Not Be Negotiated During Summit

Well it looks like the military has been able to prevent President Roh from at least giving up Korean territory during the summit:

The government has decided to leave discussion of the Northern Limit Line, the de facto maritime border with North Korea in the West Sea, off the agenda when President Roh Moo-hyun meets North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in October. If North Korea, which wants the NLL redrawn, raises the issue as expected, the government will propose that the two sides’ defense ministers discuss it as part of talks on easing tensions in other border areas like the Demilitarized Zone.

Just the fact that the Roh Administration was willing to give up sovereign Korean territory before the military stepped in just goes to show how desperate this government is to appease Kim Jong-il at this up coming summit.  The prize of this summit for the South Korean tax payer is going to be huge.
