South Korean President Lee Myung Bak told visiting Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi Tuesday that Seoul wants to help her country create greater economic opportunities for its people. "Economic development and democratization should be realized at the same time," Lee said to the democracy campaigner, according to the presidential office. South Korea would try to increase economic cooperation with Myanmar and help it create more work opportunities for young people, Lee was quoted as saying by his spokeswoman. Suu Kyi expressed her hope that more workers from her country would be able to go to South Korea to find jobs or take part in a South Korean programme that allows young people from developing nations to get job training, the spokeswoman was quoted as saying by DPA. Suu Kyi, who arrived in South Korea Monday, also planned to attend Tuesday's opening ceremony of the Special Olympics World Winter Games 2013 in Pyeongchang, speak to the Global Development Summit Wednesday and accept the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights before returning to Myanmar Friday.
