BEIJING — A 13-year-old American plans to visit North Korea this week and perhaps meet leader Kim Jong Il to pitch his idea for a "children@@@s peace forest" in the demilitarized zone.
Jonathan Lee, who was born in South Korea and lives in the US state of Mississippi, is scheduled to fly to Pyongyang on Thursday from Beijing with his parents, the family told The Associated Press. They said North Korean officials in Beijing gave them visas Wednesday night.
Jonathan said he expects to meet with North Korean officials and will propose the children@@@s peace forest, "one in which fruit and chestnut trees would be planted and where children can play."
