(25 Apr 2014) US President Barack Obama met his South Korean counterpart in Seoul on Friday, on the second leg of his four-country Asian tour.
Obama and South Korean President Park Geun-hye held a silent prayer for the victims of the ferry disaster that sank off South Korea's southern coast over a week ago.
Obama's visit comes at a sensitive time for Park, whose attention is unavoidably split between her economic agenda with the US president and the unfolding aftermath of the tragic ferry disaster.
He flew to Seoul from Japan, a major US ally whose relationship with South Korea has deteriorated over historical resentments stemming from World War II.
After South Korea Obama will travel to Malaysia and the Philippines.
