SEOUL, South Korea — President Barack Obama’s special representative to North Korea arrived in Pyongyang, the North’s capital, on Tuesday, the highest-level American official visit in more than a year.
Members of the conservative South Korean government have questioned the wisdom of sending a high-level American envoy to North Korea without waiting for international sanctions to weaken the North’s bargaining power.
Washington emphasized that Stephen Bosworth was traveling with a narrow agenda: determining whether the North planned to return to six-nation nuclear talks and to recommit itself to denuclearization.
