SEOUL -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was taken to a hospital in Seoul after suffering stomach ache on Saturday.
Officials at Yonsei Severance Hospital in western Seoul told The Korea Herald that Kissinger is not in critical condition and is now recovering.
"He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and fly to China," a source said.
Hospital staff said Kissinger was taken to the hospital at around 11:00 a.m. on Saturday (KST) after complain of sudden abdominal pain.
The 86-year-old former diplomat came to Seoul this week to deliver a special lecture at a forum on North Korea’s nuclear issue on Thursday in Seoul.
He also visited Cheong Wa Dae on Friday and discussed North Korea and East Asia’s security order with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
Kissinger served as the top U.S. diplomat under the Richard Nixon administration from 1971 to 1977. He won the Nobel Peace prize for his contribution to world peace in 1973.

방한 중인 헨리 키신저(86) 전 미국 국무장관이 복통 증세로 신촌세브란스병원에 긴급 입원해 검사를 받고 있다. 연세의료원 관계자는 13일 “키신저 전 장관이 오늘 오전 11시께 복통을 호소하며 들어와 현재 입원 중”이라고 밝혔다.
병원 측은 “위독하거나 급박한 상태는 아니며 병세가 호전 중으로, 복통의 정확한 원인을 밝히기 위해 검사 중”이라고 전했다. 아산정책연구원(이사장 한승주) 초청으로 방한한 키신저 전 장관은 11일 연구원에서 ‘북핵 문제와 동북아시아’를 주제로 강연한 데 이어 12일에는 이명박 대통령을 만나 한반도 문제 등 국제사회 현안에 대해 의견을 나눴다.
