Swiss foreign minister makes first North Korea visit since 2003
Original: Swiss foreign minister makes first North Korea visit since 2003 as diplomatic office reopens
Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis has travelled to North Korea, the first such visit by a Swiss foreign minister in over two decades. The trip comes as Switzerland moves to reopen its diplomatic cooperation office in Pyongyang, which had been closed. Officials describe the visit as a step in maintaining Switzerland's long-standing channel of dialogue with one of the world's most isolated states, and it has drawn wide attention given the scarcity of Western engagement with North Korea.
Why now: It is a rare high-level Western diplomatic visit to North Korea, breaking a two-decade gap.
