The talks could prove signifi- cant if Seoul and Pyongyang can put aside military and political tensions that soared to their worst level in years in 2010 and lay the groundwork for a resumption of long-stalled international nego- tiations on ending North Korea's nuclear programs. Lower-level defense talks last year foundered over the issue of the sinking of a and not provoke further tensions, said Lee Jong-joo, a spokeswoman for South Korea's Unification Min- istry, which is in charge of inter- Korean affairs. North Korea launched artil- lery at a South Korean island in November in an attack that killed four people. It denies, however, attacking the navy ship that sank in March, killing 46 sailors. Inter-Korean relations have been complicated by a power transition under way in the North, where leader Kim Jong Il is believed to be grooming his youngest son Kim Jong Un to succeed him. Some analysts say the ship sinking and the artillery attack were carried out to display the two incidents. South Korea's Defense Ministry said the North suggested talks at the level of min- ister. The ministry said it would sug- gest preliminary meetings to dis- cuss the timing and other details of the talks. South Korea will also propose separate talks with North Korea to verify its commitment toward denuclearization, Lee said. North Korea's state news agen- cy was silent on the proposed defense talks. South Korea had rejected earli- er North Korean calls for uncondi- tional dialogue as insincere. South Korea has also called for an apol- ogy from the North. cHARLES5REXARBOGAST/AP Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, left, introduces his wife Maggie, right, to China's President Hu Jintao before a meeting of business leaders yesterday in Chicago, CIhna PresidentHuJintao m--akes first visit to, Chicago Philadelphia abortion murder case incites national debate Activists decry alleged offenses of abortion clinic doctor NEW YORK (AP) - The allega- tions of murder at a Philadelphia abortion clinic add fuel to already heated national debate over late- term abortions and oversight of providers. One side wants tougher restrictions; the other says women would be safer if they had more options. Almost in unison, abortion-rights and anti-abortion activists decried the alleged offenses of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who was arraigned yes- terday on eight counts of murder in the deaths of seven babies and one patient. He allegedly provided illegal late-term abortions for up to $3,000 while avoiding a crackdown despite numerous complaints and lawsuits. "This provider clearly operates outside acceptable quality care standards and is a total outlier," said National Abortion Federation presi- dent Vicki Saporta. "The majority of providers offer very high quality care." The problem with the Gosnell case, Saporta said, is that state and local authorities apparently didn't enforce regulations that were on the books. She noted that Gosnell had been rejected for membership in her federation, which represents about 400 providers accounting for about half the nation's 1.2 million annual abortions. The federation has a self-policing policy, conducting periodic site vis- its to ensure that members comply with its guidelines. Anti-abortion activists say self- policing, as well as existing regula- tions in many states, are insufficient. They have been pushing for years for tighter oversightof abortion pro- viders, and the Gosnell case is likely to intensify those efforts. Yesterday, for example, a legisla- tive committee in Virginia endorsed a bill that would subject abortion clinics - which are now regulated like doctors' offices - to the same standards as outpatient surgical centers. "It's hard to tell the extent of egregious offenders because the abortion industry is almost com- pletely unregulated," said Dr. Donna Harrison of Eau Claire, Mich., pres- ident of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gyne- cologists. "If a doctor in a hospital did a hys- terectomy and had a patient with a complication, he would have to go back and explain why to his col- leagues," Harrison said. "With abor- tion, the doctor has nobody to face - they basically just slide through the accountability process with nobody to hold their feet to the fire." In general, abortion-rights activ- ists have opposed the state-level efforts to regulate abortion clinics more tightly, depictingthese bills as backdoor attempts to shut down the clinics altogether. Chicago mayor spearheads efforts to strengthen U.S.- China relationship CHICAGO (AP) - Mayor Rich- ard Daley's long effort to build ties with the world's second-largest economy seemed to pay off yes- terday as Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived for his first visit to Chicago, his only stop outside Washington duringthis trip. Hu was expected to focus on economic ties between China and Chicago during his whirlwind overnight visit to the city. Experts said the attention from China has been the envy of other U.S. cities and could mark a gigantic - and profitable - step forward for both parties, despite the sometimes rocky U.S.-China relationship. . "Our long range goal is to make Chicago the most China-friendly cityin the U.S.," Daleysaid duringa dinner last night attended by Hu, as well as Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, top city officials and business leaders. Many have credited Daley's efforts so far. The mayor has trav- eled to China four times since 2004, touting Chicago as a global transportation hub with large manufacturing and industrial sec- tors friendly to Chinese business. "Chicago deserves some kudos. It's clear that he's (Daley) cultivat- ed the China relationship and he's learned how to do that very well," said Kenneth Lieberthal, direc- tor of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Insti- tution. "Mayors and governors around the country, regardless of their politics, see China as a source of potential capital, markets and jobs. So you better be ones look- ing to have the president of China come here." Hu, speaking to last night's dinner through a translator, also praised the city's efforts to build relationships through language and business. "Despite the great distance between Chicago and China, our hearts are linked together by friendship,"he said. He earlier con- gratulated Daley on his 22 years in office, calling him "the most senior mayor in America." The retiring Democratic mayor has largely stayed away from poli- tics in developing a relationship with China. He went to Shang- hai last year to headline "Chicago Days" at the 2010 World Expo. In 2008, he went to the Beijing Olym- pics to look for lessons for Chica- go's 2016 Summer Olympics bid. He has avoided criticizing China for human rights issues and stayed away from U.S. manufacturers' claims that China undervalues its currency to make its exports cheaper than U.S. products, con- tributing to high unemployment here. In 2006, Daley pushed for the development of the Confucius Institute in Chicago, a language and cultural center that started as a small parent-driven Chinese language program. It's now one of the largest institutes of its kind in North America; about 12,000 Chi- cago public school students take Chinese and the institute offers community classes and interna- tional exchanges for teachers. While the institute doesn't have direct ties to business, leaders in Chicago's Chinatown say it helps forge a connection. "It creates a whole generation of younger students and future lead- ers to understand Chinese culture and language. It will help the busi- ness transaction," said Tony Shu, president of the Chinatown Cham- ber of Commerce. "If you know the language, you'll find it so much easier." Hu was expected to visit the institute on Friday, as well as a Chinese business expo in the sub- urbs.
