N. Korea to Send Representative to U.S.

The Chosun Ilbo, Updated Feb.22,2006 19:23 KST

North Korea's Foreign Ministry Director General for North America, and the country's representative at six-way talks Li Gun will reportedly travel to the U.S. in hopes of reaching some kind of agreement on the dollar forging allegations and re-opening the stalled nuclear talks.

A source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday, “Progress in the negotiations on the details of Li's visit to the U.S. is proceeding considerably well,” and added, “A U.S. visit on the 4th of March is being pushed.”

Li Gun is to meet with U.S. Treasury officials to hear their explanation of their allegations of counterfeiting and circulation of bogus money. With officials from U.S. State Department, he is expected to discuss the resumption of the six-party talks.
