Meeting with ROK's former foreign minister would be seen as major diplomatic breakthrough for Kim Jong-un
UN chief Ban Ki-moon will visit the Democratic People's Republic of Korea this week for a likely meeting with the nation's leader, Kim Jong-un, the Republic of Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Monday.
If the trip takes place, Ban will be the first UN secretary-general to set foot in the DPRK in more than 20 years, and the first world leader to meet Kim since he formally assumed power nearly four years ago.
