Feltman discussed UN assistance and operations in North Korea along with “other matters of mutual concern,” North Korean media said. Feltman arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday for a four-day visit. The talks follow North Korea’s latest test of the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles which it says is capable of attacking all targets in the US. Mr. Feltman’s visit is expected to create momentum for UN-led efforts to reduce tension on the Korean peninsula.
