A top security official said Friday he saw a transcript of the 2007 summit dialogue between former President Roh Moo-hyun and then North Korean leader Kim Jong-il amid allegations the late president made remarks undermining the legitimacy of the western sea border.

Senior presidential security secretary Chun Yung-woo said during a parliamentary audit of the presidential office that he saw a transcript of the dialogue being kept at the intelligence agency.

“It was about two years ago, not long after I took office as senior secretary,” Chun said of when he saw the transcript. The official declined to elaborate on its contents, citing it is classified as a secret and said he only “read it once.” (Yonhap News)
