Pyongyang, Dec 5 (Prensa Latina) UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman arrived in the Democratic People''s Republic of Korea (DPRK) today to talk with officials of that country on issues of mutual interest.
Feltman, head of a UN delegation, was received by officials from the DPRK Foreign Ministry and will visit projects of that international organization in Pyongyang for four days and will meet with members of the diplomatic corps, among other activities.
Feltman's visit to Democratic Korea, the first of its kind since 2011, coincides with the worsening of the crisis on the Korean peninsula after the last test launch of a North Korean ballistic missile, and the joint air maneuvers between the United States and South Korea, the latter without precedents in history.
This military deployment in the region is part of the pressure from Washington and its allies Seoul and Tokyo for the DPRK to abandon its self-defensive nuclear program, but Pyongyang reiterates that it will use the means at its disposal to defend its sovereignty from any threat.
