Did you know that Hillary Clinton is the first secretary of state to visit the countries of Asia right after being promoted to office?  In the past, the first countries that the secretary of state would visit were the Middle East and Europe.  The fact that Clinton’s first visit is anywhere in Asia signifies the important presence Asia will have in the Obama presidency.  Already as it is, the U.S. has important politcal and economic ties with the Asian continent.  Not surprisingly, the main focus of the talks happen to center around North Korea and their nuclear weapons program.  In honor of Clinton’s visit last month, here is a list of vocabulary related to the visit.

South Korea : (한국)

North Korean : (북한)

state visit : (공식 방문)

ambassador : (대사)

president : (대통령)
