The Korea Post news:
Ahn Cheol-soo meets ambassadors, madams
Co-Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy met the ambassadors of Slovakia, Chile, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Turkey and Austria at the Protocol Office of the Gimpo Airport on March 22, 2014 arranged by Chairman Lee Kyung-sik of The Korea Post.
The ambassadors were on their way to Gwangyang to attend the 2014 Gwangyang International Apricot Culture Festival and Chairman Ahn was on his way to Busan.
When suggested by The Korea Post how Ahn wished to meet the ambassadors, he readily accepted the offer and happily met each ambassador and posed for the camera.
Ahn spoke very good English (perhaps better than any other leading political figure of Korea), and exchanged pleasantries with the ambassadors and madams. The he spoke and acted, it was obvious he was very much interested in the promotion of close relations with the international community.
안철수와 외교 사절과의 만남
새정치민주연합 공동대표 안철수의원과 주한외교사절이 어제 김포공항 의전실에서 영문외교경제종합매체 코리아포스트 이경식 발행인의 주선으로 우연한 만남을 가졌다. 각국대사들(베트남, 터키, 칠레, 오스트리아, 우크라이나, 불가리아)은 2014 광양국제매화문화제 참석을 위해 광양으로 가는 길이였고 안철수의원은 부산으로 가는 길이였다.
안대표는 한국의 정치지도자로서는 드물게 거의 원어민과 같은 수준의 유창한 영어를 각국대사와 인사를 나누었으며, 지켜보는 사람들에게 한국과 세계 각국과의 관계증진에 관심이 많은 것으로 비쳤다.

▲Secretary General Ban Ki-moon (former minister of foreign affairs of the Republic
of Korea) was painted by established Korean artist Kim Dong-hyun in 2010. Ban
was the foreign minister during the liberal government of the late former President
Kim Dae-jung (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate) and so, politically, he could be classified liberal,
neither conservative nor progressive. Ban is among the much-talked-about Presidential
candidates of the future.

My mate Dave is serving a life sentence for something he didn't do.
He didn't wipe his fingerprints off the knife.
