UN Denies Report on Ban Ki-moon's Visit to North Korea

NEW YORK, September 29 (RIA Novosti) - UN has denied the report that its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon received an invitation and may visit North Korea, according to the UN press service's statement Monday.

The reports, mentioning the letter of Kim Jong- un, the head of North Korea, that was handed over to Ban Ki-moon, appeared on Saturday.

"There has been some speculation that the letter contains substantive issues, including an invitation to the Secretary-General to visit the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Such speculation is totally groundless," the UN press service's statement read.

North Korean Foreign Minister handed Kim Jong - un's letter to Ban Ki-moon at the 69th UN General Assembly session in New York. In his letter Kim Jong - un thanked the Secretary-General for the message that Ban Ki-moon had sent recently on the occasion of the Anniversary of the Founding of the DPRK.

It might be a good idea though to have Ban Ki-moon, former Foreign Minister of South Korea and present Secretary-General of the UN to pay them a visit.

Somebody has to unlock the situation and the Americans are known for ongoing "locking" things with their unnecessary presence in South Korea. The Chinese don't care and the Japanese have bigger fish to fry - so who is diplotalking this Stalinist state into the 21st century?
