When Bill Met Kim

There aren't too many details from this New York Times piece on the Bill Clinton visit to North Korea, other than it appears that Kim Jong-Il may be a bit healthier than initially presumed. But this bit jumped out at me:

During his one-hour meeting, officials said, Mr. Clinton advised the North Korean that he could win favor with South Korea and Japan by resolving cases of their citizens who had been abducted by North Korea. The dinner, which lasted over two hours, was “chitchat,” the official said. “It was not substantive.”

I wonder what you could "chitchat" with Kim Jong-Il about?
