Guess Who’s Coming to Town?
(Seoul, South Korea-AP) February 25, 2007 - North Korea’s chief nuclear envoy may be coming to the US.
South Korean media say Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan is to arrive in San Francisco Thursday before heading to New York for talks with Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill.
That meeting would be the first working group meeting on establishing diplomatic relations between the US and North Korea and is part of an agreement reached at six-party talks in Beijing less than two weeks ago.
In those talks, the North promised to shut down its nuclear facilities in exchange for economic aid and political incentives. Hill announced at the time that he had invited the North Korean envoy to the US.
It would be the first such trip since 2002.
San Francisco? Wonder what’s so interesting over there. Maybe he going to catch this premiere. It will be like he never left the country.
