PKX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- South Korean President Lee
Myung-bak on Tuesday instructed his Cabinet to study the
forestation of North Korea and its impact on the entire Korean
Peninsula, according to sources at the presidential office. Lee
made the instruction while presiding over a Cabinet meeting
which finalized the South Korean government's plan to cut the
nation's greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent below expected
levels in 2020, or 4 per cent reduction from 2005 levels.
* Referring to South Korean steelmaker POSCO's forestation
project in Uruguay, Lee was quoted by the sources as
saying,"POSCO is planting trees in South America. But might
North Korea be a better place (for the project)? It is closer
and has few trees."
* The president ordered his Cabinet to analyze North Korea's
current forest conditions, as well as study the forestation of
the North and its effects on the Korean Peninsula, said the
sources.
