Re: Korean-War:UN Peace Keeping

Saw the item on the AP (or was it UPI?):
"North Korean to visit Russia
     MOSCOW — North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun will come to Moscow 
on May 19 for talks focusing on political and economic ties between Moscow 
and Pyongyang, Russian officials said. Mr. Pak's visit would be the first 
such trip made by a North Korean foreign minister in more than ten years, 
diplomatic sources quoted by the Interfax news agency said. North Korea's 
reclusive leader Kim Jong-il is expected to pay a visit to Russia's Far East 
later this year."
