President Barack Obama's envoy began a rare trip to North Korea Tuesday for the highest-level talks with the communist country in more than a year. A senior U.S. official warned of strong sanctions against Pyongyang unless it rejoins international nuclear talks.
Envoy Stephen Bosworth's mission is to find out whether North Korea will return to the stalled international talks on ending its nuclear programs after carrying out an atomic test blast in May and quitting the six-nation negotiations.
Bosworth's delegation flew to Pyongyang from a U.S. military base near Seoul, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul said. North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency later said in a one-sentence dispatch that the delegation arrived in Pyongyang.
