please correct this sentence.



President Roh said last June about the Inter-Korean Summit, “Whether the remainder of my term is 2 months or 3 months, once I go and seal, the incoming President can’t deny it. “



1) Is it right to insert 'last june about the Inter-Korean Summit' this way?

2) Can "the Incoming President" be used for 'the next President'?

3) Are there any other awkward expression in this sentence?

Thank you, Clive.

Then I used 'incoming' wrong way.

I wrote 'seal' to express 'stamp on a document', which means reacing an agreement, and the next president can't help accepting the agreement.

But if it's unclear to be understood, I will correct it.
