DPRK Delegation to Visit Thailand
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will send an official delegation Bangkok in late October to mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Thai-DPRK diplomatic relations, a Thai government source said Wednesday.
The delegation will be led by Choe Thae-bok, chairman of DPRK's Supreme People's Assembly, according to the source.
During his visit to Thailand from October 29 to November 2, Choe is expected to meet Thai party leaders and parliamentary officials.
The Thai-DPRK ties received a big boost two weeks ago when DPRK sent Foreign Minister Baek Nam Sun to the Bangkok meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Regional Forum.
During the meeting with his Thai counterpart Surin Pitsuwan, Baek asked Thailand for permission to post an additional diplomat at DPRK Embassy to Bangkok. Surin agreed to the request in principle.
