Secret talks between U.S., North Korea take place in Sweden
Jan. 18, 2019
Envoys from the United States and North Korea took part in an unannounced high-level meeting in Stockholm on Friday, an official said.
Swedish Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Diana Kudhaib said the talks included North Korea’s Deputy Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui but declined to give further details. Sweden’s TT news agency said U.S. special envoy for North Korea Stephen Biegun and Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom also were attending.
“These are just talks in a minor format where international experts take part,” Kudhaib said.
Sweden has had diplomatic relations with Pyongyang since 1973 and is one of only a few Western countries with an embassy there. It provides consular services for the United States.
In March, Wallstrom held talks with her North Korean counterpart, Ri Yong Ho, in Stockholm, leading to the first-ever meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in June in Singapore.
