President Lee Myung-bak has visited China’s Sichuan Province, becoming the first foreign leader to visit the quake-hit region.
In Dujiangyan city on Friday, he toured affected areas and shelters for the displaced, offering encouragement to victims and relief workers. He also pledged Seoul’s cooperation in reconstruction efforts.
The president also met with ethnic Koreans residing in Sichuan.
Arriving at the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport earlier in the day, he was greeted by the Sichuan provincial governor and Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi. He then met with Korean soldiers who had brought relief supplies to China on Thursday. [KBS Global]
It is good to see President Lee visiting the area and thanking the Korean troops helping with the disaster relief.

You can always depend on “shattered” to make some stupid anti Korean remark - no matter what the occasion is.

Funny how you never discuss comments and always discuss me. You are a broken record. Frankly I think you are a creepy staker. (Koreans are well known for their stalking ability, just think of Cho Seoung Hui) I suggest you get back to the kitchen and start washing dishes.
