金正日突然取消访俄行程

Russian and East Asian media provided conflicting accounts Thursday of the reasons for the apparent cancellation of a secret summit between Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.Neither government has confirmed that a meeting was in the works, though several news outlets quoted Russian sources saying the two were to have met during Mr. Medvedev\'s current visit to Vladivostok.
 
Japan\'s Fuji television said the Russians had laid out a carpet and set up fences at a border crossing near the Far Eastern city.South Korea\'s Chosun newspaper quotes diplomatic sources in that country saying an armored train believed to be carrying Mr. Kim did set out from Pyongyang Wednesday but turned back without ever reaching the border.The Russian newspaper Conversant quotes Kremlin sources saying Mr. Kim abruptly changed his mind about the visit because of security concerns after news of the trip leaked out in world media.South Korean media meanwhile quote officials in that country speculating that Mr. Kim canceled the trip because of health issues or disputes with Russia over the agenda.

俄罗斯和东亚媒体星期四就俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫和朝鲜领导人金正日秘密峰会取消的原因作出彼此矛盾的报道。虽然一些新闻媒体引述俄罗斯的消息来源说，两人原计划在梅德韦杰夫访问海参崴期间会面，但是俄罗斯和朝鲜政府都没有确认要举行这次峰会。
 
日本富士电视台称，俄罗斯已经在远东城市海参崴铺上红地毯，并且在附近的一个边界过境点设立围栏。韩国的《朝鲜日报》引述韩国外交人士说，据信一列装甲火车星期三载着金正日开出平壤，但没有到边界就返回了平壤。俄罗斯报纸引述克里姆林宫的消息说，金正日突然改变主意，因为国际新闻媒体报道了这次访问，使他担心安全问题。韩国媒体同时引述韩国官员猜测，金正日取消行程是因为健康问题或与俄罗斯就会议议程存在分歧。
