Thousands of South Koreans joined a protest on the streets of the capital yesterday against the coming summit of Pacific Rim leaders including U.S. President George W. Bush. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit opens this week in the city of Pusan. Its agenda includes discussions on how to enhance global free trade and minimise damage from a bird flu pandemic.

Protesters in red headbands carried placards saying ?No Bush visit? and ?No APEC?. Police put the turnout at more than 20,000. Foreign investors see labour unrest as a major impediment to doing business in South Korea.
