Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has held discussions with the Dr Robin Eames, former Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, about the forthcoming Worldwide Anglican Peace Conference in Korea, known as TOPIK.

They also discussed concerns about the humanitarian situation in North Korea, particularly following floods there earlier this year, and issues of religious freedom that might affect the role the church could play in promoting peace and reconciliation.

Lord Eames will serve as Dr Williams' Special Envoy and as President of the Conference in which about 150 delegates from around the Communion will participate. The conference was originally scheduled to take place last year but tension arising from missile and nuclear tests necessitated a postponement. the rest
