時事新聞:奧巴馬訪韓將去"三八線"

US President Barack Obama is seeking to increase pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapon programs by visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border between the two Koreas on Sunday before a nuclear security summit in Seoul, Reuters reported.

據路透社報道，美國總統巴拉克•奧巴馬將於本週日訪問朝韓之間的非軍事區(DMZ)，旨在向朝鮮施壓，讓其放棄核武計劃。隨後他將參加在首爾舉行的核安全峯會。

The White House has said on Tuesday that Obama's visit to the border will be a direct sign of support for South Korea..

白宮在週二表示，奧巴馬造訪朝韓邊境是一個支持韓國的直接信號。

North Korea announced it would launch a satellite to mark the centenary of fonder Kim Il-sung's birth next month.

朝鮮宣佈下月將發射一枚衛星，紀念建國元勳金日成百年壽辰。

The U.S. responded by saying that such a plan violates the nuclear moratorium deal and scuttles the resumption of food aid.

作爲迴應，美國表示如此做法違背了核中止條約，不利於對朝食品救援工作的恢復。
