DPRK's FM visits India

Xinhua, April 14, 2015 Adjust font size:

Foreign Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Ri Su Yong on Monday started a three-day visit to India, the first of its kind, said officials.

Yong held talks with his Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj and met with Indian Vice President Hamid Ansari.

"EAM (external affairs minister Swaraj) conveyed to her Korean counterpart the significance of peace and stability in the Korean peninsula for India's Act East policy," External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

Officials said that Yong also updated the Indian side on DPRK's nuclear program.

India provided food assistance worth one million U.S. dollars through the World Food Program to DPRK in 2011.

Yong expressed his country's appreciation for the humanitarian assistance, the local daily The Hindu quoted unnamed officials as saying. Endi
