On Oct. 6, a 160-member South Korean delegation to Pyongyang for the National Unification Conference Commemorating the 11th Anniversary of the Oct. 4 Summit Declaration revisited a pine tree planted by former President Roh Moo-hyun in the name of peace during his 2007 inter-Korean summit with then North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. Among the delegation was Roh’s son Gun-ho, who paid his respects by watering the tree and shoveling some earth over its roots. The water and earth were brought from Roh’s hometown, Bonghwa Village, Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province. The above photo shows Roh on the left watering the tree, while the below photo shows the tree on Oct. 4. (provided by the Blue House)
