DPRK top leader Kim Jong-il meets Bill Clinton: Yonhap

Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) top leader Kim Jong-il has met with visiting former U.S. President Bill Clinton in Pyongyang on August 4 and received a verbal message from U.S. President Barack Obama, Pyongyang's state media reported, according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.

Kim hosted a dinner for Clinton at the state guest house, reported Radio Pyongyang and the Korean Central Broadcasting Station.

Kim and Clinton exchanged "a broad range of opinion" in their talks, the report added.

The former U.S. president arrived in Pyongyang earlier Tuesday, a trip apparently aimed at seeking the release of two American journalists detained in DPRK since March.

Clinton's surprise visit also raised hopes for a breakthrough in the long-stalled nuclear disarmament talks and a momentum for dialogue.
