金浦空港。昨夜第一外務次官は、我々との会合、最後まで出席。金正日の死亡を２日も知らなかった政府の危機管理能力の無さが批判されはじめている。米国も知らなかった可能性。

tweeted on December 20 at 07:21 that the First Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of ROK attended a meeting with us held last night and he stayed at the meeting until it was over.

The government of ROK has gradually become a target of criticism for its lack of crisis management skills as everything suggests that the government of ROK had been unaware of death of Kim Jong-il for two days. Possibly even U.S. had no knowledge of it for two days.

The above translation is provisional.
