A senior United Nations official will begin a four-day trip to North Korea on Tuesday for talks with Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho and other officials, a week after the isolated regime launched its most powerful missile to date.
The visit by Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman was arranged after the UN received an invitation from Pyongyang for policy dialogue, the UN’s department of political affairs wrote on Twitter. Feltman will discuss "issues of mutual interest and concern,” and meet with UN staff and diplomatic corps, according to a UN statement.
