Myanmar's FM visits N. Korea

SEOUL, Oct. 27 (Yonhap) -- Myanmar's foreign minister arrived in North Korea on
Monday and met the top diplomatic official there, more than a year since the two
communist states resumed diplomatic ties, the North's official news agency
reported.
Foreign Minister Nyan Win met his North Korean counterpart, Pak Ui-Chun, in
Pyongyang earlier in the day, a report by the Korean Central News Agency,
monitored in Seoul, said. The report, however, did not provide details.
Diplomatic ties between the two countries were severed in 1983 following a
bombing in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, by North Korean secret agents
targeting South Korea's then President Chun Doo-hwan. Chun was uninjured, but 21
people, including four South Korean Cabinet ministers, were killed.
The two countries have worked to normalize relations for the past few years, and
agreed to resume ties last year.
