(UTV|COLOMBO) – The United Nations political affairs chief begins a rare four-day visit to Pyongyang on Tuesday (05).
The trip by Jeffrey Feltman is the first by a senior UN official in six years.
North Korea had extended an invitation to the UN in September to visit for a “policy dialogue”.
It comes after last week’s launch of what North Korea called its “most powerful” intercontinental ballistic missile, claiming it could hit the US.
Mr Feltman, a former US diplomat and the highest ranking American in the UN, will be in Pyongyang until Friday. His visit comes as South Korea and the US conduct their largest ever round of aerial drills.
