| U.S. Team Visits N. Korea on Food Assessment |
| 2011-05-25 |
| What's your assessment, Johnson? There ain't any, sir... A U.S. food assessment team led by special envoy Robert King heads to Pyongyang on Tuesday to evaluate a request for food aid from North Korea. Last week, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner confirmed King's visit to the reclusive regime, adding that the delegation will also raise human rights issues. The team is expected to conduct field evaluations of food security needs in the impoverished nation, including areas beyond the capital, and meet with government officials. King, who handles humanitarian assistance in addition to human rights, is scheduled to wrap up the visit on Saturday, but the rest of the team may stay longer. See ya, boys and girls! I'm outta here! Enjoy your stay in North Korea. And have that report on my desk the day you get back. |
