North Korean Foreign Minister to Attend ASEAN Regional Forum in Laos
Veteran diplomat and North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho will participate in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum in Laos during his first foreign visit since appointment in May, media reported Saturday.
TOKYO (Sputnik) — The ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting is being held in the capital of Laos, Vientiane on July 21-26 with ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) slated for its last day. ARF will be attended by 27 countries' representatives, including 10 ASEAN members, the EU states and North Korea.
The North Korean foreign minister will arrive to the capital on Sunday, the Kyodo news agency reported, citing its sources.
Ri is expected to provide explanations on the country's nuclear program against the backdrop of the heightened tensions on the peninsula following a range of bomb tests in the course of 2016 and ballistic missiles tests conducted on Tuesday.
