North Korea ‘responds’ to UN outreach on Travis King FMTNews FMTWorld
SEOUL: North Korea has “responded” to efforts by the United Nations Command to discuss American soldier Travis King, who ran across the border into North Korea last month and is believed to be detained by Pyongyang, the command said today.
The latest announcement comes more than a week after the UN Command said it had started a conversation with the North over the soldier. The two Koreas remain technically at war because the 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, not a treaty, and most of the border between them is heavily fortified. The latest incident comes as relations between the two Koreas are at one of their lowest points ever, with diplomacy stalled and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un calling for increased weapons development, including of tactical nuclear warheads.
