North Korea launches diplomatic offensive

Continuing its marathon of diplomacy, a North Korean delegation also is in Switzerland to take part in a parliamentary conference.

North Korea’s state mouthpiece, the Rodong Sinmun, reported Wednesday that a delegation led by Ri Jong-hyok, a ranking member of the Supreme People’s Assembly, North Korea’s rubber-stamp legislature, and director of the National Reunification Institute, left Pyongyang on Tuesday to take part in the 138th Conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva.
