Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has been released from a South Korean hospital after recovering from stomach pains, a hospital spokesman said.
Mr Kissinger's condition was "not serious" while he was being treated at Seoul's Severance Hospital and he had recovered after a day of medical treatment, spokesman Han Jin-ho said.
Mr Han said Mr Kissinger didn't receive any major treatment like surgery, but didn't elaborate.
The 86-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate arrived in the South Korean capital earlier in the week to attend a security forum. He also met with the country's President Lee Myung-bak.
Mr Kissinger served as secretary of state for US presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
