Report: UN chief to visit North Korea this week

None

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit Pyongyang this week for a possible meeting with leader Kim Jong Un, a South Korean news report said.

 

The possible trip comes six months after Pyongyang at the last minute canceled an invitation for Ban to visit an inter-Korean factory park in the North Korean city of Kaesong. Ban has said North Korea gave no reason for the cancellation. He had not planned to visit Pyongyang at that time.

 

Yonhap news agency cited an unidentified source in the U.N. when it reported Sunday about Ban's Pyongyang trip. It gave no details on the purpose of the trip or the day it would take place.

 

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric and Seoul's Unification Ministry said they had no comment.
