North Korea
has recalled several of its key ambassadors back to the country for a joint
meeting in the capital.
The meeting
reportedly includes Ambassador Ji Jae-ryong, Ambassador Ja Song-nam and
Ambassador Kim Hyong-jun, North Korea's top envoys to China, the United Nations
and Russia respectively.
A government
official told Yonhap News Agency that:
'North Korea
seems to be hosting what appears to be a meeting of foreign diplomatic
missions' chiefs after calling its ambassadors to major countries back to
Pyongyang'.
The Ministry
of Unification's spokesman Baik Tae-hyun said in a press briefing that the
meeting may be part of North Korea's regular gathering of ambassadors.
He added:
'North Korea
held the 43rd ambassadors' meeting in July 2015 and (the latest meeting) seems
to be in line with that'.
However,
there are rumors the meeting may be linked with the country's purported
preparations for further military actions against the US and Guam, such as
nuclear test or more missile launches.
