June 18, 1998 (SEOUL) -- Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates arrived
in Seoul on Wednesday and will meet with President Kim Dae-jung on
Thursday to provide his views on foreign investment in Korea.

Gates' visit comes just after the U.S. software giant tentatively
agreed to invest US$10 million-US$20 million in Korea's top word
-processing software developer, Hangul & Computer Co.
Gates is being accompanied by Softbank president and CEO Masayoshi
Son.
The Microsoft CEO is scheduled to give a lecture Thursday afternoon
at a National Assembly conference room, where he will emphasize the
need for Korea to increase investments in the information industry
as a way to pull out of the economic crisis.
