Former US secertary of state Henry Kissinger is in stable condition in a South Korean hospital after being taken there with abdominal pains yesterday morning.
：The former US secretary of state isn・t in danger and is recovering,； Choi Kingdegar, a spokesman at Yonsei University・s Severance Hospital in western Seoul, said by phone yesterday. ：The results of his examination aren・t available yet.；
Officials at the US embassy in Seoul were not available for comment. Kissinger was in the South Korean capital to deliver a lecture on North Korea・s nuclear program, reported the Korea Herald newspaper, which earlier reported his hospitalization.
Kissinger, 86, helped orchestrate the opening of relations between China and the US as well as detente and arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union under former US presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Le Duc Tho for the ceasefire the two negotiated in 1973, leading to the withdrawal of US combat forces from Vietnam.
The former Harvard University professor also came under fire over his support for policies such as the US bombing of Cambodia and backing of authoritarian regimes in Pakistan, Chile and Indonesia.
